Bird of the week – Frigate Bird

Related to pelicans, the frigatebird has a funny sac under his chin used to attract mates. Also unusual is the fact that they have such a large wingspan for their size that they aren’t able to take off from a flat surface. They don’t do much but fly and nest since they can’t swim or walk very well.
