No. Kookaburras are not nest raiders. They make their own nests in tree hollows, or in hollows within termite nests up in trees. They will use their strong beak to dig out the hollows to enlarge the space. They lay their own eggs in their own nests, and do not raid the nests of other bird species.
However, kookaburras have been known to eat the chicks of other birds on occasion. This is not their normal diet, as they prefer to swoop down and collect small reptiles from the ground.

How and why do cows birds sneak their eggs into other birds' nests?
Cows do not lay eggs. However, some bird species, like the cuckoo, are known to lay their eggs in other birds' nests as a strategy to ensure the survival of their offspring. This behavior, known as brood parasitism, allows the deceived birds to raise the cuckoo's young, often at the expense of their own offspring.

Do bell birds destroy trees?
Yes. Bellbirds live in eucalyptus bushland and rainforests, where they repel other species of birds by killing their eggs and destroying or taking over their nests. This means that there are no other species around to help control insect populations, which cause the disease dieback in trees. Dieback causes trees to die where they stand, from the top down.

yes, male birds do build nests. for example, the weaver bird (found in Africa) uses the building of the nest as a mating ritual. the more elaborate the nest, the more likely the male is to attract a mate. these elaborate nests help to ensure the safety of the eggs and the young from predators as they often include what look like a number of entrances to the nest, fooling the predator as to the location of the actual entrance.
What ar nests made of?
It depends on the breed of the bird.- Bird nests are commonly made out of twigs, grass, reeds and other natural foliage. Depending on the breed of the bird, the nest is made by either weaving the material in a similar fashion to basket weaving, while some other breeds use spit or mud to "glue" the nests together.- Many birds, mostly those who live in urban environments, will make their nests with human litter such as straws, plastic wrapping and so on.- Some birds, usually small African birds, make their nests out of mud or clay. They create an oval Rugby-ball shaped nest with a small hole to get in and out.- Some coastal birds simply live in small caves created naturally by weathering along the coastline.- Flightless beach birds sometimes build nests out of stones, pebbles and shells, as well as twigs and plant foliage. The shells and stones prevent the eggs from sinking into the ground.- The Flamingo creates a unique nest. Flamingos fashion mud, clay, silt and twigs to form a mound around their eggs.- Some burrowing birds, such as The Burrowing Owl. dig burrows in sand and soft dirt, much like a rabbit. Sometimes they will even take over abandoned burrows created by other animals such as rabbit burrows and badger dens.- Some breeds of small parrots and a handful of other tropical birds (and the wood pecker) hollow out trees with their beaks and live inside the tree.Please see the link I have provided you below in the Related Links.

How many species of weaver birds are there?
The weaver bird is a small bird native to Africa that is related to finches. Some weaver birds build rather large, elaborately woven nests (thus the name 'weaver bird') while others nest parasitically meaning they lay their eggs in the nests of other birds and the other birds raise the weaver bird chicks. Weaver birds are normally gregarious and they nest together in colonies.
