SAEDNEWS: Blue-footed Booby: A Perfect Subject for Wildlife Photographers to Capture Stunning Shots
According to Saed News’ Society Desk, citing Bitooteh, the blue-footed booby is a native bird of the tropical and subtropical regions of the eastern Pacific Ocean. Its distinctive, vividly colored feet make it easily recognizable among other seabirds.
The striking blue color of the bird’s feet comes from carotenoid pigments in its diet. In the booby’s body, carotenoids function as antioxidants and immune system boosters. Consequently, the brightness of its feet can serve as an indicator of the bird’s immune health.
