Today I received the cutest little present! A Blue-Footed Booby! It came all the way from the Galapogos Islands which are
located 500 miles off the coast of Ecuador.
These Boobies actually have great big blue feet, not to mention blue bills. The one I got today is not life-size because my granddaughter couldn't get a real one into her back- pack. So I got one only four inches tall. She also gave me a refrigerator magnet that has a picture of a booby on it. She has been living lately with these Boobies and it is so good to have her back home at least for awhile. We went out for lunch today and had such a good time. We both talk a lot.
It won't be long before she will be flying to the Philippines for more serious studying. She studies birds. Now I will have to do some research to find out what kind of birds live on the Philippine Islands. Hopefully there will be some really cute ones so she
can bring me another cute little ceramic bird.
They will go really well with my cute little ceramic frogs.
If you want to see the mating dance of a male and female Booby, you can see it on YouTube. The female was not at all impressed.

It seems the male Booby does all the dancing while the female does the all the critique. Doesn't seem fair, does it?
ReplyDeleteAll's fair in love and war!
ReplyDeleteI think she is saying she has a headache.
ReplyDeleteFootnote; I just goggled birds of the Philippines. It was staggering to realize how many species are native to these islands and how absolutely beautiful many of them are.
ReplyDeleteMy granddaughter is going to have lots of fun along with her hard work.
I mean I googled, not goggled.
