When they are in flight or on land, they are very clumsy birds. The fact is, puffins are only graceful in water where they spend much of their time. You would think that this bird is pretty agile right? Wrong. Because they are so colorful, they are sometimes called “sea parrots”, and “clowns of the ocean”. When breeding season nears, their beaks become a bright orange with a patch of blue, and bordered with a pretty yellow line. They have black and white colored feathers, like the penguin, bright orange colored feet and legs, small sunken in triangular shaped eyes, and a very narrow triangular shaped beak that is very colorful indeed. The appearance of the puffin is very recognizable. Both of these birds can be found in the Pacific. There is the Atlantic puffin which can only be found in the North Atlantic ocean, and the other two species is the “horned puffin, and the tufted puffin. They are a part of the “Alcidae Family” and only three different types of Puffin bird in existence. Although puffins make a desirable and tasty meal, these birds are actually very pretty and unique looking. Icelanders kill, and eat Puffin because they are over populated with them. ![]() Anyway there was this one episode where he visited Iceland, and there he was taken on a special journey to place that can only be reached by boat. I love the show so much, that I have it recorded. It's a series that follows a guy named Andrew Zimmern as he travels the world in search of weird bizarre foods that he can try out. ![]() I chose to make a tutorial out of this particular bird because of a show I was watching the other day called “Bizarre Foods”. I think it's time that I submit another lesson on a very pretty bird called the “Puffin”.
