Blue-Footed Boobies Doing Mating Dance coloring pages

 This is my free coloring pages blog.

I have drawn over 3000 coloring page drawings.

Feel free to print them for kids to color. 

Today's new drawing is of Blue-Footed Boobies. 

We saw these birds several years ago on a trip to the Galapagos Islands.



Blue-Footed Boobies Doing Mating Dance


Blue-footed boobies live in the Galapagos Islands.  They have unique blue feet and a cute mating dance.  This dance is part of their courtship ritual.  These two boobies are on a rock near the shore.  Another amazing thing that blue-footed boobies do is dive into the ocean at high speed when they're fishing.  It is really quite amazing to watch.  

Boobies drink seawater.  Then they excrete the excess salt out of their nostrils.  So boobies are mouth breathers.  There are other species of boobies:  Red-footed Boobies, Nazca Boobies, Masked Boobies, Brown Boobies, etc. etc.  There are actually 6  distinct species of boobies.  

The ship in the distance is from National Geographic/Linblad.  We went to the Galapagos with them and it was an absolutely AMAZING experience!!  

NOTE:  This drawing, in printable form, is found by clicking on the button labeled "Birds."  Then scroll down to the bottom of the list of bird drawings.  If you are accessing this page around October 2024 then the drawing title will be at or near the bottom of the list of bird drawings.  Below is an older drawing I did of two Blue-footed boobies.   Have fun coloring!
