Visit North Seymour Island | Celebrity Cruises

Publish date: 2024-06-08

North Seymour Island has a lot to offer wildlife lovers. For starters, the largest colony of magnificent frigatebirds in the Galapagos makes its home here. Frigatebirds are also known as “pirate birds,” due to their proclivity for stealing food from other birds or snatching chicks out of their nests. They’re also exceptionally agile and acrobatic flyers, which no doubt aids them in their thievery. One of the bird’s most distinctive features is the male’s scarlet red throat pouch, which he inflates during mating season to attract female frigatebirds.
