Frigate birdsare not only the fastest, but also the most acrobatic ocean-going birds. Able to fly as fast as 93 miles per hour, they can steal food from other birds while in flight, and snatch flying fish right out of the air .
Specialized for flight, they are unable to land on the water and are awkward on land. They build crude nests under low bushes , and lay only one egg at a time.
The male frigate bird has a bright red pouch on the underside of his neck, which he can inflate to attract females. When inflated, the pouch can be seen for great distance.
