Somtimes we are asked if puffins can fly! And
the best answer is to go see the puffins fly.
Puffins are not good flyers, like eagles or hawks, but
they fly! They have short wings and thus have to move them fast in order to
move their heavy body around. During the nesting time they fly back and forth
from their nest. Their nest is in a hole they dig into the ground and from the
hole they fly to the sea hunting small fish they then bring to the young ones.
The reason for the question is probably the likeness
between the puffins and penguins. Travelleres sometimes see the puffins as very
small penguins, as well as other species of what we call “black birds”, svartfuglar in
Icelandic.
