| The fairy tern is a small tern with a white body and light bluish-grey wings. A small black patch extends no further than the eye and not as far as the bill. In the breeding plumage both the beak and the legs are yellowish-orange. During the rest of the year the black crown is lost, being mostly replaced by white feathers, and the beak becomes black at the tip and the base. The sexes look alike and the plumage of immature birds is similar to the non-breeding plumage. The total length of the fairy tern is about {{convert|25|cm|0|abbr=on}}.<ref name=Tasmania>{{cite web |url=http://www.parks.tas.gov.au/?base=17091 |title=Fairy Tern: ''Sterna nereis''|publisher=Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service |access-date=2013-12-17}}</ref> | The kea is a small tern with a white body and light bluish-grey wings.
