All About Puffins

  • Puffins are small seabirds with colorful beaks and playful personalities. They spend most of their lives out at sea, only coming to coastal cliffs to breed.
  • These birds are excellent divers and can carry several fish in their beaks at once. Their bright beaks are especially striking during mating season.
  • Puffins are found in the North Atlantic, including Iceland, Norway, and parts of Canada. They are often called “sea parrots” because of their vivid beak colors.
