Red-footed boobies primarily inhabit tropical and subtropical regions of the Pacific and Indian Oceans. They are often found on coastal islands, including parts of the Galápagos, the Marquesas, and other remote islands. These birds prefer nesting on cliffs or in trees, where they can find ample food in the surrounding waters. They are known for their striking red feet and vibrant plumage, which makes them a distinctive sight in their natural habitat.
