This tropical bird primarily feeds on small fish and plankton, skillfully picking them from the water's surface. Brown Noddies are social hunters, often seen in flocks. During the breeding season, the female lays a single egg, from which a highly energetic chick hatches and is fiercely protected by the parents.
