Puffins For Kids
Table of Contents Introduction What is a puffin? What kinds of puffins are there? The history of puffins and humans Atlantic puffin Tufted puffin Horned puffin Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Puffins are adorable little creatures that sometimes remind people of penguins. Their coloring is a little similar to some sort of penguins, and they also live in cold regions, but that's where the similarities end. They are big parts of the culture in places such as Iceland and the Faroe islands, and live in both the Atlantic Ocean area and the Pacific. Most people know very little about puffins, but they are fascinating creatures who have been the basis of survival for some and almost the symbol of their culture for others. With their black and white bodies and their brilliantly colored beaks, puffins stand out among birds. They are not colorful like parrots or beautiful like swans, but the puffin has its own unique charms.
The Puffin
A comprehensive monograph on the Atlantic Puffin. With its colourful beak and fast, whirring flight, this is the most recognisable and popular of all North Atlantic seabirds. Puffins spend most of the year at sea, but for a few months of the year the come to shore, nesting in burrows on steep cliffs or on inaccessible islands. Awe-inspiring numbers of these birds can sometimes be seen bobbing on the sea or flying in vast wheels over the colony, bringing fish in their beaks back to the chicks. However, the species has declined sharply over the last decade; this is due to a collapse in fish stocks caused by overfishing and global warming, combined with an exponential increase in Pipefish (which can kill the chicks). The Puffin is a revised and expanded second edition of Poyser's 1984 title on these endearing birds, widely considered to be a Poyser classic. It includes sections on their affinities, nesting and incubation, movements, foraging ecology, survivorship, predation, and research methodology; particular attention is paid to conservation, with the species considered an important 'indicator' of the health of our coasts.
