Blue-footed booby

Today I going to take to you about 

Blue-footed booby

(piquero patiazul in spanish). This is a pelecaniformes are seabirds and them live in Peru and Galapagos island, Ecuador when coexist with Sula Sula ("piquero petirrojo" in spanish).The sula nebouxii is a peculiar bird because your legs are blue! is fantastic!!!!!
In the Galapagos island them was examined for charles Darwing
The characteristic deep blue color of its legs comes from the carotenoid pigments that come from your diet, as these birds are unable to synthesize carotenoids and must assimilate through food.The blue-footed booby is on average 81 cm (32 in) long and weighs 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs), with the female being slightly larger than the male. Its wings are long and pointed, and are brown in color. The neck and head of the blue-footed booby are light brown with white streaks while the belly and underside exhibit pure white plumage. Its eyes are placed on either side of its bill and oriented towards the front, enabling excellent binocular vision. Its eyes are a distinctive yellow, with the male having more yellow in its irises than the female. Blue-footed booby chicks have black beaks and feet and are clad in a layer of soft white down.I love it because this animal is very exotic and your color is very beautiful.My dreams is go to Galapagos island and to know.
