This is actually a really interesting study that posits some important concepts about animal behavior but I can’t get over the unintentionally comedic header image

Preening is a common mating and bonding ritual between mated birds. It serves as a way to erode their normal spatial instincts to attack or avoid another animal in close range

I see you like blue-footed boobies.
you are
Correct :D
I do!! Bloobies are great :] I latched onto them forever ago, and I also like other species
brown boobies have a sleeker look!
Nazca boobies are very pretty and rather dignified looking in my opinion
Red footed boobies have rainbow faces! (and red little feets)

Animal of the Day!
Vampire Ground-finch (Geospiza septentrionalis)
(Photo by Charles Davies)
Conservation Status- Vulnerable
Habitat- Northern Galapagos Islands
Size (Weight/Length)- 20 g; 12 cm
Diet- Blood; Insects; Seeds
Cool Facts- The sharp-beaked vampire ground-finch is something straight out of a horror movie. During the majority of the year, these little birds will only eat seeds and insects. However, when food and water are scarce on their island home, vampire ground-finch begin to target the local seabirds. Targeting mostly nesting nazca boobies, the vampire ground-finch pierces the boobies’ skin and drink the flood that flows from the wound. While the boobies can grow irritated with the finches, they don’t aren’t aggressive towards the finch.
Rating- 12/10 (Darwin’s wet dream.)
Animtober- Flame (Lives on an active volcano.)

Lots of discussion about which bird has the most beautiful high-contrast plumage on my other post so I say we put it to a vote. Who’s your pick?
#pretty crazy that I would not vote for STK on any list they’re a part of but that speaks to the unmatched beauty of the Nazca booby#might be the prettiest bird in the world to me#birds#polls#Nazca booby#swallow-tailed kite#pied harrier#black-and-white hawk eagle#Smew#black-billed magpie
