Tropicbirds are elegant seabirds belonging to the family Phaethontidae. They are known for their long, slender tails and striking plumage, which often features bright colors like white, black, and red. These birds are typically found in tropical and subtropical regions, nesting on remote islands and coastal cliffs. There are three main species of tropicbirds: the red-billed tropicbird, the white-tailed tropicbird, and the yellow-billed tropicbird. They primarily feed on fish and squid, which they catch by diving into the water. Tropicbirds are also known for their graceful flight and are often seen gliding over the ocean.
