In a video that’s delighting animal lovers everywhere, the San Diego Zoo introduces some of its most stylish residents: Inca Terns. With their curled white mustaches, sleek feathers, and permanently distinguished expressions, these remarkable birds look like they stepped straight out of the pages of Vogue, and people can’t get enough of them.<\/p>\n
We love how each one looks like a distinguished gentleman sporting an impressive ‘stache. And they’re not just stylish, they’re loud, too. Make sure your sound is on so you can hear their squeaks, squawks, and chatter. Between their unforgettable appearance and surprisingly vocal personalities, these birds have viewers wondering how we’ve gone this long without knowing Inca Terns existed.<\/p>\n
The San Diego Zoo<\/a> shared more about these Inca Terns in the caption. “Inca Tern birds certainly ‘tern’ heads wherever they go, with white facial plumes in a dapper ‘stache shape, dark gray bodies, and bright red-orange bills.<\/p>\n 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.”<\/p>\n Related: Tourists Freeze When Cheetahs Crash a Peaceful Bird-Watching Trip<\/a><\/p>\n \ud83d\udc36<\/a>SIGN UP to get \u201cpawsitivity\u201d delivered right to your inbox with inspiring & entertaining stories about our furry & feathered friends<\/a>\ud83d\udc3e\ud83d\udc3e<\/a><\/p>\n People Can’t Get Enough of These Birds’ Incredible Mustaches<\/p>\n Like us, viewers were smitten with these stylish birds<\/a> and left more than 1k comments about them.
