Puffins are charming seabirds known for their colorful beaks and distinctive appearance. They are often called "clowns of the sea" because of their bright orange and yellow beaks, especially during the breeding season. Puffins primarily live on coastal cliffs and islands, where they nest in burrows. They are excellent swimmers, using their wings to paddle through the water while hunting for fish.
These birds are found in the North Atlantic, with the Atlantic Puffin being the most well-known species. Puffins feed mainly on small fish like sandeels and are social creatures, often seen in large colonies. Their playful nature and unique looks make them a favorite among birdwatchers and nature lovers.
