Frigate Bird

Frigate birds are also known as pirate birds or man-of-war birds.  They are closely related to pelicans.  Male frigate birds are known for their red throat pouches that puff up when they are trying to attract a female.  Frigate birds can not swim and they do not walk very well, but they can stay flying in the air for a whole week!
