Fun fact: Frigate birds are also known as the pirates of the bird world as they are extremely vicious and agressive with other sea birds. They rob and plunder other sea bird nests, and eat babies and smaller birds !
It was for their shape and their speed that european warships in the 17th - 20th centuries.
Another fun fact:
Even tho they are "Sea birds", they actually can't float or rest on water like Gulls or Pelicans or any other Seabirds would do, because their feathers are not waterproof, so they actually can't swim, nor protect their body temperature !
I love these birds they actually feature in my book hahah !
Great post and great read, Patricia ¡!
