Atlantic puffins (Fratercula arctica) wouldn’t make the best flying instructors. These birds struggle to get in the air, beating their wings an average of 300 to 400 times a minute just to stay in flight! They also have trouble landing, often crashing into the water or rolling onto the grass, tumbling into any other puffins that may be in their way.
Puffins are cute and there call sounds so weird. I know because I’ve heard it in the habitat.
Puffins are my fifth favourite bird because they are so cool. Here are three puffin facts.
Fact 1: Puffins have beaks that change colour with the season.
Fact 2: Puffins can dive 60 meter.
Fact 3: Puffins live in borrows or dens between April to August.
