Rescuing puffins

[@pamgordon6714]

Lovely story where children are involved in "Earth Care" , a fun, teaching time that makes sense...and memories.

[@Boop__Doop]

I am in the puffin control/a local (big flex) ask me anything

[@kfb5583]

Beautiful! We were lucky enough to see them in the Shetland Islands.

[@XX-gy7ue]

this actually made me cry - what wonderful children , what marvelous parents , what beautiful birds !

[@49lucky]

Made me cry also... Poor animals in the world humans are killing everything. Glad to see support.

[@thornyback]

This is Iceland for you. Exceptionally low crime rates and great sense of community. It is a wonderful place to grow up.

[@warcommentary8025]

​@@49lucky As a local this is a way to save them since they go the light

[@BL4CKV01D]

i live there they are my friend and they are loveable❤

[@oliviadimock8202]

This is the most beautiful Icelandic tradition that I ever heard of! it always lightens my face whenever I see puffins :)

[@loriperrault7347]

Wonderful report. Thank you

[@pamelagantzer6042]

Love your report in! Such a wonderful diversion from the caustic news of the day.

[@HallaBjalla1404]

This is my hometown and I just rescued one puffling in my yard just now 🥰

[@Burps___]

Fortunately for the puffins, they are attractive and playful.

[@michellerjackson5776]

Amazing and precious enlightenment of the puffins 💕🤗👍🙏

[@debbralehrman5957]

6 years ago. I wonder how many now?👍🏼😃💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@XX-gy7ue]

can they lower the lights in the town at night when it's puffin season ?

[@Boop__Doop]

Unfortunately we can't it would be a big problem plus the puffin patrol is such a big part of our culture that we probably wouldn't want to do it even if we can

There was a time, when I used to look into my father's eyes In a happy home, I was a king I had a golden throne Those days are gone, now the memories are on the wall I hear the sounds from the places where I was born.

[@patriciafairey542]

Pardon?

[@lanternn5049]

The lyrics to don't you worry child in the comment section of a video like this? Makes no sense

[@moonlitpearl700]

Genesis 1:28 fulfilling this mission. Lovely report.

[@emiliobello2538]

Puffins are cute

[@pibly7784]

Awesome

[@nancyparis1079]

The little girl's sweater with the paper dolls around the yoke is darling. Anybody know the name of the pattern?

[@kiddalingur]

Not sure what you mean, but at 6:00 minute mark , are you talking about her ? if so, that is a Ulla peysa or Wool sweater , most likely home made, the elders usually know hoe to nit them. if she is not the one you meant, maybe give a timestamp

[@rosakatrin007]

Most likely a home made pattern with Dora the explorer

[@kiddalingur]

well the dora sweater was most likely home made. but you can fin cool sweaters in a Icelandic store online, they also make custom sweaters. no hurt in checking it out. www.alafoss.is Home made or hand knitted sweaters

[@Boop__Doop]

I rescue puffins every year ask me anything

[@pamelaparker622]

Birds are fragile. I worry about children or adults holding the pufflings too tightly and injuring them.

[@Jm4sci]

Confermo ero l'uccello

[@patriciafairey542]

Tradition and quality family time? The mind boggles!! Just turn the lights off - simple! And stop eating them!! Tagging the pufflings may be part of research but doing it in this way, with lots of unnecessarily handling, must cause them to suffer extreme stress. If you want to see puffins come to the RSPB reserve at Bempton Cliffs in N. Yorkshire, UK.

[@aegirfreyrvalsson8210]

its not as simple as turning the lights of its a fishing village and there are trawlers coming in and out all day and night and saving them is better than just letting them die i live on the island and btw hunting very limited 1 day a year and no guns really just a traditonal net. and extreme stress what are you talking about if you think they get stressed being put into boxes your mistaken they live in dark damp burrows wiche is almost the same thing as box and we have other islands around where alot of them live like elliðey they dont do any better than there counter parts on heimaey next time know waht your talking about sorry for being mad but this such and ignorent comment and they must be doing well when about 8-10 million of them live in the archepeligo comperd to about 500,000 puffins in the RSPB reservation

[@Boop__Doop]

You are missiuderstanding the problem only 10mill puffins live in the arcepelico while 10-30k land in the town and you can't just not have lights in the town bacause planes cars boats people's homes ect but let's say there's a power outage and the puffins take off they still might not have the range to make it out to sea or worse they might land in the pier Wich coats them in oil and they will land in the town anyways because they don't have the range. Okay so let's say you feed them steroids and turn of the town then people in the town will get mad because A you took away the only place on the planet where you can rescue puffins B they don't have lights C you fed them steroids D you reduced Iceland's tourist income by removing puffins from the town .now companies will get mad becauseA you cut the power to the town making the cruel Icelandic nights freeze people's houses B they can't profit without power C there's no power and the world will hate you for taking the only place on the planet where puffins fly into town

[@Boop__Doop]

And the real problem is the fish they eat is going away because of global warming so even if we did what you wanted to do the puffins will still be endangered

[@rafaelsumano]

Leave it to them to invade an island and then nearly make the species extinct.

[@lisaduncanson6086]

Tossing puffins? More like torturing them if if you ask me!
