Puffling

These fish are brought to the fluffy little Puffins in their snug nests inside of a burrow or under a slab of rock. The babies are called “Pufflings.”

Visit Iceland this August and you could help to rescue pufflings – baby puffins – who get confused by town street lights and crash into towns when leaving their burrows to fly over the Atlantic for the first time.

Whee-er-er, whee-er-er! the puffling cries because he is hungry. Mama puffin arrives and lays her mouthful of live fish close to the front of the burrow.

When they're old enough the young puffins, or pufflings as they're called, have to fly off to find food.

Both parents feed the infant puffling until it is very fat, then leave the chick, who must make its own way to the sea.
