Es silente en vuelo, pero hace sonidos varios en su nido. Come principalmente peces, y también ataca a otras aves marinas para forzarlas a regurgitar su comida. Nunca acuatiza, siempre captura sus presas en vuelo. Debido a lo corto de sus patas, esta ave duerme en lugares altos lo que le facilita emprender vuelo. De aterrizar en nivel bajo le sería casi imposible emprender vuelo. fuente: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fregata_magnificens
