Amazing puffin













Atlantic puffins is just like sea parrot.  

These birds live their lives at sea, They are excellent swimmers too. they use their wings in underwater.  They can dive to depths of 200 feet.& stay underwater for  20 or 30 seconds. Puffins typically hunt small fish like herring & eelspuffins bcz they are surprisingly fleet flyers in the air. They can reach speeds of 55 miles with help of their wings.Iceland is the most breeding home of Atlantic puffins. The birds often  rocky cliff tops for their nests. It is till not clear how these birds navigate their home grounds after going so far. may be the use  visual reference points, sounds,smells, the Earth's "magnetic fields" or perhaps the stars.
