Terns, seabirds of the same family as gulls, are extremely selective in their pairings, prompting Charles Darwin to coin the phrase,
“One good tern deserves another.”
Known for their distinctive sound, “kee-WAH,” terns are particularly fond of eating sand eels, which contain a potent hallucinogen. As a result, entire colonies of terns are often unable to function for hours, resulting in the oft-used phrase,
“No tern left unstoned.”
Haha…. 😀
