Magnificent Frigate Bird: These birds are truly striking: big, black, and powerful, they make quite a silhouette when flying. Their legs and feet are very small, so they can't paddle well with them; they rarely even walk. They have a fishy diet.

Magnificent frigatebirds have long, thin, hooked beak that is specially designed to help them catch – and steal – slippery fish.
