“The puffin has a hard life, really, although when you watch them up close you can’t help but think they handle it all with remarkable stoicism. They dig themselves a burrow, make a nest, and when the eggs hatch, they fly off to collect thin, silvery fishes to feed to their young.
What we all know, because we’ve seen so many pictures, is that they do an excellent job foraging in the sea. So good in fact, that their enormous beaks are usually crammed with little fishy heads and tails hanging out on either side.”
