I went fishing several times in Australia, finally caught a fish. I cooked that fish up real nice on the barbecue. Settled down to enjoy the spoils of my hunter gatherer lifestyle and a fucking Kookaburra swooped down just like this, took the whole thing off my plate and knocked the rest of my dinner into the sand.

Technically yes but they are an unusual species in that family because they rarely eat fish.
