27 Inca Tern Facts: The Bird With a Mustache (Larosterna inca)

24. Where do Inca terns nest?
Inca terns nest together in colonies. They make their nests mainly in the holes, crevices, and burrows of rocky cliffs. It is important that these cavities are deep to protect the eggs and chicks from predators.

However, Inca terns will also nest in the vacated nests of Humboldt penguins as well as piles of wood and abandoned buildings.
