Inca tern birbs certainly tern heads wherever they go, with white facial plumes in a dapper 'stache shape, dark gray bodies, and bright red-orange bills. Inca terns are native to the Pacific shores of Peru and Chile where they nest on rocky cliffs, and are also known for their raspy vocalizations, which help them stand out in noisy coastal colonies.

Be sure to make the finest acquaintance of these feathered friends on your next visit to the Rainforest Aviary.
