Phaethontidae
The three tropicbirds are closely related seabirds of tropical oceans. They are slender white birds with exceptionally long central tail feathers. Their long wings have black markings, as does the head.
They breed on tropical islands laying a single egg directly onto the ground or a cliff ledge. They feed on fish and squid, but are poor swimmers.
