INTERESTING RITUAL

Their feet color is important for the mating ritual. For male Boobies, the brighter their feet color, the more likely they are to find a mate.

According to the Encyclopedia Britannica website, the mating ritual starts when a male displays an elaborate dance of raising his feet alternately, sky-pointing, and whistling continuously until his desired female Booby notices him. Once the Boobies have mated successfully, the female lays about one to three eggs in a simple bowl-shaped nest on the ground called a guano.

In addition, these Boobies co-parent their chicks and mate for life.
