- The motu (islet in Polynesian) of Hemeni in French Polynesia is called Bird Island because of the large colony of sooty terns (Onychoprion fuscatus) that come to nest on its rocky shoulders. The seabirds eggs are a major source of food for the local Marquisians.

- Le motu (îlot en polynésien) Hemeni abrite une importante colonie de sterne (Onychoprion fuscatus), des oiseaux marins venant y nicher, ce qu'il lui a valu le nom de "île aux oiseaux". Les œufs de ces oiseaux sont utilisés par la communauté locale comme une importante source de nourriture.
