KOOKABURRAS and KINGFISHERS
Halcyon Days
Alcyone, daughter of Aeolus (Keeper of the Winds), grieved so deeply when her husband perished in a shipwreck that she threw herself into the sea. The pitying gods transformed both lovers into kingfishers who roamed the water side by side. During periods when they nested on the open sea, the waves calmed and the weather held fine, And these are still called halcyon days.
