Greater Frigatebird


This male greater frigatebird blows up his red gular pouch as a courtship display to attract browsing females. The bigger, the redder, the better, so this male is sure to find plenty of potential mates (unlike the poor, withered sap in the background).

Give that bird some Pepcid!! That's some bad case of heartburn.

That's quite a bib the Greater Frigatebird has. We kind of liked his friend in the background even if he can't attract the ladies.
