FASCINATING BIRD WITH BLUE FEET

On the west coast of Central and South America lives a fascinating bird with bright turquoise blue feet called BLUE FOOTED BOOBY. Female boobies are so magnetized by the blue colour of the male's feet. The bright and attractive blue colour is based on the food intake and nutrients the male boobies  get from consuming a large amount of fish. They also use their feet to keep their babies warm.
