Look at those extra brilliant blue feet— what a hunk! Blue-footed boobies (Sula nebouxii), common in the Galapagos Islands and other warm coastal areas of the Pacific, can catch flying fish in mid-air. Their blue feet are for fashion AND function. Male and female boobies wave their feet about in elaborate courtship displays and dances. Bluer feet mean a healthier bird and a better parent. -- source link
