The Atlantic puffin, often called the “sea parrot,” is one of the most beloved seabirds in the North Atlantic. Recognizable by their colorful beaks and waddling gait, puffins spend most of their lives at sea, diving for fish with remarkable speed and agility.

During breeding season, they return to coastal cliffs to nest in burrows, often reuniting with the same partner each year. Puffins are devoted parents, taking turns to bring small fish to their chicks. Despite their charm, these birds face threats from climate change and overfishing, which impact their food sources. Conservation efforts are underway to ensure puffins remain a vibrant part of marine life.
