Habitat
The black noddy can be found on the open ocean and on coastal islands.
Diet
The black noddy's diet is made up of small fish and aquatic invertebrates that are found close to the surface of the water.
Life Cycle
Nests are built in trees and are made with grasses, twigs and leaves.
The female lays one egg and incubation lasts about 36 days. Both the male and the female incubate the egg.
Both parents feed the chick regurgitated fish. The chick fledges when it is about 36 days old. Its parents will continue to feed it for another couple of weeks.
Behavior
During courtship black noddys bob their heads and exchange fish!
In the United States, the black noddy can be found in the Dry Tortugas off the coast of Florida and in Hawaii. It does not breed in the Dry Tortugas. It can also be found in tropical areas of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans.
