Premise: The Sandwich tern ("Thalasseus sandvicensis") is a tern in the family Laridae. It is very closely related to the lesser crested tern ("T. bengalensis"), Chinese crested tern ("T. bernsteini"), Cabot's tern ("T. acuflavidus"), and elegant tern ("T. elegans") and has been known to interbreed with the lesser crested.
Hypothesis: Sandwich terns are very specific about the types of seed that they eat.
