Description
Not all blue feet are equal. During the courtship of blue-footed boobies, both males and females display their feet to prospective partners and boobies with brighter bluer feet have more success in finding a mate than birds with duller blue feet. The healthiest chicks tend to have fathers with more intensely blue feet. Since the blue color results from dietary sources, brighter blue feet may be an indication of the male booby’s ability to keep himself well fed. Although the famous mating display might seem comical to humans, the display of foot color provides critical information on a bird’s health and ability to provide for young. These two were photographed having a tete a tete on Santiago Island in the Galapagos (Ecuador).
