Identifying the species Fregata Magnificens and Chroicocephaluscirrocephalus. The qualitative analysis concerning to observed characteristics morphophysiological contrasted with the references; Stipulating that the innate and acquired conduct have protagonism in their fixed pattern and/or variable social conduct. Otherwise, the quantitative analysis of the variations quantity of birds and registered physical parameters determined anthropogenic influence on the foraging´s technique like "the Kleptoparasitism" and "opportunism".
