Puffins are considered a species of conservation concern due to threats such as habitat loss, pollution, and overfishing. Conservation efforts are underway to protect these amazing birds and their ocean habitats.

They use their wings to flap rapidly and propel themselves through the air. The feathers of the Atlantic puffin are coated in a special oil that helps to repel water and keep the bird's body warm and dry while swimming in cold ocean waters.

Happy #WingedWednesday! Today, we celebrate the amazing Atlantic puffin, a seabird that is known for its distinctive appearance and unique features. $BIRD
