Hunting and Eating Patterns

A Booby is a seabird.

They are quite large birds with a big wing span and long sharp bills.
Red-footed Boobies are spectacular divers. They plung into the ocean at high speeds to catch prey. They stay under water and hunt their prey from a depth.
They mainly eat small fish or squid which gather in groups near the surface.
This technique is very good as the booby is a good swimmer.
