    he red-footed booby is a social seabird known for its bright red feet, found in tropical oceans worldwide, and is unique for nesting in trees and shrubs rather than on cliffs. It's polymorphic, meaning it has different color variations (white, brown, dark), and feeds on fish and squid by plunge-diving, often far from land. These birds are long-lived, breed in colonies, and lay only one egg every 15 months, with both parents caring for the single chick. They were found on a different island from the blue footed boobies.Read more
