SUCH A CUTE BIRD THING! Never noticed how cute they were D: Poor Puffins

[@winterstellar]

I love the puffins, or sea-parrots as they're sometimes called. I'm from Norway, and we have a lot of them along the northern coastal areas. Beautiful birds!: )

[@PinkHarlequin]

They're adorable!

[@legionarydecanus7207]

Also taste

[@LowsonIntl]

Not only are puffins not being empowered, but 99% of all species including puffins are being driven to extinction due to climate change, hunting, poaching and habitat loss, brought upon by human greed and ignorance. It is critical we protect them before it's too late. We will thrive or perish, together as one.

[@lordcrull]

That makes sense, even if you don't ground it up. But it may make them reliant.

[@DnlCraig007]

Puffins are so cute. Nature is magic ...

[@SyriusFerreal]

I would have to disagree, they ARE cute, AS well as awesome and bad ass , and comical. I live in Canada and have had the pleasure of seeing the Puffins a few times, I hope they are always here.

[@Yvessam]

In my province, there was a little "rock island" (Québec-Gaspésie) where there was many many many of thoes birds, but today, they are all gone.

I don't understand how this video shows the "Empowering" of Puffins.

@@Thegoat-4L the most Op thing I can think of is a raptor with venom. Think of it a flying bird that could fly by , nick you venom, fly off, wait for you to die, then reap the meat. Terrifying like snakes with wings!😭😖😲

[@Blueknightex]

Puffins are so unique. I heard that they are very rare and are only found in this region.

[@teethompson1630]

They're not rare. There are 12 to 14 million puffins

[@DaveMcKerron]

Congrats NG, you just collected on the GW swindle again! Too bad research only happens if its funded.

i live in Iceland !

[@Joykeymusic]

PUFFINS ARE AWESOME

[@vandal9202]

omg I love puffins

[@tarnishedmercury]

as an educated person i continue to be shocked that there are people who do not believe in global warming. with all the scientific evidence that has been found, disbelieving in global warming is just as bad if not worse than disbelieving that the earth is round or that the earth is not the center of the universe

One of the biggest issues in Iceland right now is the Puffins' use of inhalants, or as it's more commonly known, "Puffin Huffin".

[@themightychickens]

Well, the puffins are almost gone from the Faroe Islands now, because of the changing weather...

[@Knmon]

There are always going to be people who want to specialize in helping nature and animals. It's a question of pragmatism versus science. The spending on research grants is often the lowest possible, a drop in the bucket next to all the spending on our human institutions (i.e. defense). Against the poachers, oil spills, Texas-sized plastic garbage islands, and Chinese River dolphin-killing toxic rivers of the world, I say, let the researchers do what they can; if not, our species may be next.

[@fenix611]

(continue of my last comment) we have to change the way we breed our children how society looks on them and our education system, this is very easy and is done in many countrys today, (the USA has one of the worst education in the world even the amount of cash) there are many reformations to be done one by one many laws to be changed and many ot be removed. reliegion is static, and many times cannot be dealt with in these situations. this goes beyond the spiritual.

[@after9pm2]

this is newfoundlands bird as well ....have they also done a study?? and cant they eat capelin?? ..........this is a sad thing i hope that this is sopme thing that may pass one way or another ..

[@betelgezaa]

The lack of fish for those beautiful puffins is not caused by a climate change but by human greed!!

[@yoashab690]

Ask New Fondlanders they know the answer, ask Japanese if they eat the little fish as a delicacy... perhaps the climate change has something to do too
