It looks more like a kookaburra. I guess kkookaburras are truely a member of the kingfisher family.
Its injured and has a broken beak.. poor thing.
But theres still enought beak left to eat. Its the best for it to life in the zoo. Where it can life a happy and long life.

It's a very nice shot,
but I think there is an error on the ID.

There is a notable deformity to the end of the upper portion, but the beak is one of the keys.
It's much too thick & heavy for it to be A. Atthis.
It is a member of the Kingfisher family though.

The dark brown upper/cream lower beak, light colored eye, off white body with dark brown or grey at the wing/body leading to blue with white & black marked flight feathers...
I believe this is a northern Aussie tree kingfisher known as the Blue-winged Kookaburra (Dacelo leachii)
(It's likely a male from the darker patches on the wing at the body).
