We are helping to save the blue-footed bobby!
About us
My name is Will and I am 18 and live in Arlington, MA. I learned about birds six years ago from my 5th grade science teacher, Mr. Banister. I found out that the blue-footed booby population had fallen 60% and decided to try and find a way to help. So for the past six years my little brother Matty and I have been selling blue socks to raise money for them.
When you buy a pair of our blue socks (the same color as the blue-footed booby’s feet) the money will go towards helping the blue-footed booby population. We don’t keep any of the money for ourselves. So please, buy a pair!
We invite you to watch the interview we did on Fox 25 News and to read this article about us by The National Audubon Society.

Blue-footed boobies are one of the most interesting and unique birds in the world, and their cool coloration makes them stand out from the crowd. While they may look like something out of a cartoon, these birds are very real and absolutely fascinating!
