We have been fortunate to have some nesting Manu o Ku at the Honolulu Zoo as of late that have resulted in several new chick hatchings! We always love when we can be a safe place for both our animal residents as well as our wild visiting friends.
Manu o Ku, or white terns, are a native Hawaiian seabird found throughout tropical areas in the Pacific, Southern Atlantic and Indian Oceans. In Hawaii, the only main island where terns can be found is Oahu. These terns have made urban Honolulu their home designating them as the Official Bird of the City and County of Honolulu. So be on the look out for these beautiful native birds that may be nesting right in your backyard!
