*** About Atlantic Puffins: Known for their colorful beaks and charismatic appearances, Atlantic Puffins are small seabirds primarily found along the coasts of the North Atlantic Ocean. These birds are adept swimmers, using their wings to stroke underwater with a flying technique. During breeding season, puffins are known for their distinctive beaks which turn bright orange, adding to their appeal during mating displays. Highly social, they nest in large colonies on coastal cliffs or offshore islands, creating burrows in which to lay a single egg. Their diet mainly consists of fish, which they catch by diving underwater. Despite their small size, Atlantic Puffins play a significant role in their ecosystem, influencing both marine and island habitats.
