Introduction: Tern birds and their habitat

Tern birds are a group of seabirds that belong to the family Sternidae. They are known for their long, pointed wings and forked tails, which allow them to dart and dive in the air with incredible speed and agility. Terns are found all over the world, with many species preferring to live near coastlines, estuaries, and other bodies of water. They are an important part of marine ecosystems, feeding on small fish and other aquatic creatures and serving as prey for larger animals.

Natural predators of Tern birds

Tern birds have several natural predators that pose a threat to their survival. One of the most common predators of Terns is the Peregrine Falcon, a bird of prey that is known for its incredible speed and agility. Falcons are able to swoop down and snatch Terns out of the air, or catch them while they are resting on rocks or other surfaces.

Other natural predators of Terns include gulls, crows, and other bird species that feed on small marine creatures. These animals are able to steal Tern eggs or chicks from nests, or catch adult Terns when they are vulnerable. Additionally, some larger marine mammals, such as seals and sea lions, have been known to prey on Terns when they are feeding in shallow waters.
