If the Magnificent Frigatebird (Fregata magnificens) ordered fast food, it would definitely steal fries from the bottom of the bag. This species is known for its kleptoparasitic behavior, meaning it specializes in snatching food from other sea birds—harassing them until they let go of their catches. But this winged pirate won’t stop there. The Frigatebird will even pester competitors who’ve recently eaten, forcing them to vomit up their meals! Then it will chow down on its regurgitated prize. The male’s prominent red gular sac is used to attract a mate and can puff up like a balloon. This bird can generally be found soaring along the coasts of southern North America, Central America, and South America.
