The '''booby''' is a large seabird, similar to the [[gannet]] - the main difference being that boobies rest on land, and gannets at sea. They are about the size of a [[goose]]. They catch fish by diving into the sea to catch them. Boobies nest in colonies on remote islands where their chicks are safe from predators.
