Fregata, commonly known as frigatebirds, are seabirds renowned for their extensive wingspans, forked tails, and exceptional flying abilities. They inhabit tropical and subtropical oceans and are known for their aerial acrobatics and kleptoparasitic behavior, often stealing food from other birds. Males are easily recognized by their vibrant red throat pouches.

Fregata, commonly known as frigatebirds, are primarily found in tropical and subtropical oceans. Their geographical distribution includes the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. They are most commonly located near coastlines, islands, and in particular, on remote oceanic islands where they breed.

Frigatebirds inhabit regions characterized by warm, tropical climates. They are often found in areas with steady trade winds which aid their soaring flight. These birds prefer open ocean environments and are rarely seen inland, except when breeding on islands.

Frigatebirds occupy an ecological niche as aerial seabirds, relying on their exceptional flying abilities to hunt for food. They primarily feed on fish and squid, which they catch from the ocean surface. They are also known for kleptoparasitism, where they harass other seabirds to drop or regurgitate their catch, which the frigatebird then retrieves. Their nesting habitats are typically on isolated islands with sparse vegetation, where they can safely breed away from terrestrial predators.
