Kakapo, like all birds, reproduce sexually. They must first attract a mate. The male does this by producing a subsonic mating boom with his inflatable thoracic air sac, which can be heard several kilometres away. Females are attracted by the call, and as they approach, they are drawn to the male's exact location by a higher pitched "ching" call. The males gather in groups to compete for female attention in what is called a 'lek' mating system. Males have their own 'calling posts', which are specially dug-out bowls in the earth where they perform to impress the females. When the females arrive, they wander among the males engaging in their courtship displays and producing their calls before deciding upon a suitable mate.

Will the kookaburras live if no grass?

The question is purely academic. If there were no grass, there would not be other species. Kookaburras feed on snakes and lizards, which in turn, feed on smaller creatures that may hide in grass. If the kookaburras' food source died out, there would be no kookaburras ... But if it died out due to lack of grass, most animal life would have died out anyway.
