Description: The Brown Noddy, scientifically known as Anous stolidus pileatus, is a dark-feathered seabird species found in the tropical waters of the Pacific Ocean. These graceful birds primarily feed on small fish and plankton, skillfully picking them from the water's surface. Brown Noddies are renowned for their impressive aerial acrobatics, especially when hunting in flocks. During the breeding season, females lay a single egg, which the parents fiercely protect by aggressively warding off perceived threats.
