I hope you are well. Friends, Allah Almighty has created different kinds of animals and birds in this universe And some birds are so beautiful that man never tires of seeing them. The bird I will tell you about today has blue feet and is a very beautiful bird called Booby Bird.
This bird was first seen on the beach. The first idea about them was formed by the famous naturalist Charles Darwin during his voyage to Galapagos. During his travels around the world, he was able to discover many new species of animals. Total geographical animal and plant representatives were nominated in honor of this person.
The blue-footed booby, especially the seabird, spends most of its life in the water. Their body length is 70 to 85 cm. They weigh 1.5 to 3.5 kg. The female may be slightly larger. The appearance of the bird is very noticeable. Their color is brown and the brown beak, black short tail and feathers, however, because of the blue color, distinguish them from other birds. The size of their eyes is also very large.
Friends, since it is a marine animal, it eats fish with great relish, it hunts fish. With the first rays of the sun, they leave their nest and start fishing. These birds can chase prey for long periods of time and catch it by drowning at the right time.
To dive deeper before diving, birds can reach speeds of up to 100 kilometers per hour, allowing them to dive to a depth of 25 meters and swim in the water to chase prey. According to one principle, diving does not involve fishing but on the way back to the surface. These animals fly to places where fish gather with their heads.
Carefully peek into the water and if a blue-footed animal sees a bird of prey, it immediately catches it.
Friends, the interesting thing is why the feet of these animals are blue?
According to recent studies, some new facts have come to light about the blue-toothed bobby bird, that its unusual claw color is due to the diet of the representatives of these species. That is, fish contain caretienoid oil. Because they prey more on fish which makes their feet blue. Because they eat small amounts of regular food, bright colors are more prevalent in their claws than in sick, weak or old birds.
Friends, the name of this bird is Booby Bird. Why is it called Booby Bird?
You can translate this word as ridiculous idiot. These birds are named after the fact that they behave strangely on earth. Like most hurricanes, they spend an important part of their lives in the air or at sea.
The blue-footed booby is especially found on the eastern Pacific coast. It is native to the Gulf of California coast, the south and west coast of Central America, and Mexico. In all, there are about 40,000 pairs of these unusual birds in the world.
Friends have a very different way of hunting. They catch fish that jump out of the sea. Males and females have different hunting methods. First of all it is due to their body size because females are very heavy so they can dive deeper and catch big fish. Males have lighter body. So they can't sink deep enough.
However, nature has endowed them with a large beak with which they can easily catch fish. Friends, these birds do their wedding dance like this, If a pair of birds has a special behavior, it is a blue-footed booby. Their mating dance is performed by the male so that he can get the female's attention. During his performance, the male tries to focus on his claws. Because the brighter the claws, the more likely they are to mate.
Scientists have shown that the brighter the color of the male's claws, the more eggs the female lays.
