The great frigatebird is a large black bird with a long wingspan and a hooked beak for snatching prey out of the water or catching flying fish. The male great frigatebird is known for the large red pouch on his neck and green iridescence on the wings. They are called frigates because they often steal prey from other birds like boobies by harassing them in the air till the victims drop their catch. Being such agile flyers, frigates then swoop down and catch it in midair, juggling it further so they can swallow it
