seashores•2•

use them!•4•

We love to fish.•5•

We have great vision and are super fast.

•6•We are fiercely territorial and will

defend our home till the last breath!•7•

Some say we have many different calls, but I like to say we are

multi-lingual.•8•

We don’t mess around with nests, we build houses. Can’t have our home blowing away every time a storm

runs through!•9•

We are some of the cleanest birds out there, because you always have

to look good.•10•

Some people believe that we are powerful forces in the world,

controlling the sea and the waves.

Since I am the new bird on the branch, I put together some fun facts about who Golazo is under the great

smile and colorful feathers.

Cada dia, people always ask me, “Oye, Golazo, what kind of bird are you?” Para

toda mi gente, let me set the record straight … I am a Kingfisher! The next

question I always get is, “OK, pero what is a Kingfisher?” To help everyone get familiar with the awesomeness that is

the Kingfisher, and why I am the perfect mascot for the Miami FC, I left a few facts

about us below. #VamosKingfishers
