Description
Royal Tern is a large tern with pale gray upperparts, white face, neck, and underparts. Head has spiky, black crest and cap, and heavy, bright orange bill. Wings are black-tipped above and black-edged below, tail is deeply forked. Legs and feet are black. Hovers before plunge diving for prey.
They feed primarily on fish rather than crab, more than any other tern. The offering of fish by the male to the female is part of the courtship display.
A group of royal terns is collectively known as a "highness" of terns.
