Blue-footed boobies use their webbed feet to cover their young and keep them warm. When a typical brood of one to three chicks hatches, both parents feed and care for them.
The name booby comes from the Spanish word “bobo,” which means “clown,” and alludes to their clumsy nature on land!
Blue-footed boobies are specialized fish eaters, feeding primarily on fish such as anchovies, mackerel, sardines, and flying fish!
