Two randy kookaburras are believed to have caused a widespread power outage to more than 1000 customers in Perth’s northern suburbs.

A witness who was out walking his dog just after 4pm said he saw the two love birds, who appeared to be mating at the top of a power pole, come into contact with power infrastructure on the corner of Albion Place and Fair Lane Drive in Carine.

Western Power expected power to be restored by 7pm.

He said there were “two big blue flashes” accompanied by loud bangs.
