Puffins are more than just cute—they’re a symbol of Atlantic Canada and the official provincial bird of Newfoundland and Labrador.

These charismatic seabirds are famous for their colourful beaks and feet, but did you know they only look this vibrant during breeding season? Afterward, they shed their bright facial features and take on a more subdued grey look.

Celebrate World Seabird Day with us by learning more about these fascinating birds and the importance of protecting their ocean habitat.
