The Frigatebird colony has over 2500 pairs of birds and is the largest colony in the Caribbean.

The males puff out their throats pouches to attract a partner.

Frigatebirds only ever lay one egg and the pair both raise chick until the male abandons them and heads off to the Galapagos Islands to have another family there!

Frigatebirds live for 45-50 years and the chicks take over a year to become independent so last years young still

depend on their mothers as well as this years
