I Love You with All My Boobies Christmas Card

Product Information

Since the blue-footed booby preys on fish by diving headlong into the water, its nostrils are permanently closed, and it has to breathe through the corners of its mouth. Its most notable characteristic is its blue-colored feet, which can range in color from a pale turquoise to a deep aquamarine. Males and younger birds have lighter feet than females. [2] Its blue feet play a key role in courtship rituals and breeding, with the male visually displaying his feet to attract mates during the breeding season. Blue-footed Booby - Sula nebouxii".

The blue-footed booby was described by the French naturalist Alphonse Milne-Edwards in 1882 under the current binomial name Sula nebouxii. [6] The specific epithet was chosen to honor the surgeon, naturalist, and explorer Adolphe-Simon Neboux (1806–1844). [7] There are two recognized subspecies: [8] Anderson, David J. (1995).

Blue-footed boobies make raucous or polysyllabic grunts or shouts and thin whistling noises. The males of the species have been known to throw up their heads and whistle at a passing, flying female. These ritual displays are also a form of communication. Unlike other avenues that offer immediate satisfaction, the creators of this little diversion have programmed it with strict instructions that you cannot skip ahead days. So if you want to see all 50 breasts (25 days X 2 breasts per day), you just have to wait.

The blue color of the blue-footed booby's webbed feet comes from structures of aligned collagens in the skin modified by carotenoid pigments obtained from its diet of fresh fish. The collagens are arranged in a manner that makes the skin appear blue. The underlying color is a "flat, purplish blue". That color is modified by carotenoids to aquamarine in healthy birds. Carotenoids also act as antioxidants and stimulants for the blue-footed booby's immune function, suggesting that carotenoid pigmentation is an indicator of an individual's immunological state. [17] [18] Blue feet also indicate the current health condition of a booby. Boobies that were experimentally food-deprived for 48 hours experienced a decrease in foot brightness due to a reduction in the amount of lipids and lipoproteins that are used to absorb and transport carotenoids. Thus, the feet are rapid and honest indicators of a booby's current level of nourishment. [17] As blue feet are signals that reliably indicate the immunological and health condition of a booby, coloration is favored through sexual selection. BirdLife International (2018).
