Male Frigate Birds
A male Frigate Bird putting on a show for the ladies...and tourists.
During mating season on North Seymour Island in the Galapagos, male Frigate Birds fill a red pouch under their neck with air and fly around to impress the female Frigates.
What do you think ladies? Are these guys hot, or not?

It’s not the size of the pouch, it’s the motion of his flight.
Or something.
But seriously, that’s… strange.
nice photo but why do they have to fill their pouch with air before they fly
