A colorful beak, a charming personality, and a little voice from the sea!

With its striking black-and-white plumage, bright orange beak, and soft, cuddly design, this little puffin brings the wonder of seabird life right into your hands.
And there's more to love than its adorable appearance! Give this puffin a gentle squeeze to hear an authentic bird call, adding an interactive touch to this delightful wildlife companion.
The Atlantic puffin (Fratercula arctica) is a fascinating seabird known for its colorful breeding-season bill and remarkable diving abilities. Often nicknamed the "clown of the sea," puffins use their wings to propel themselves underwater while chasing small fish.
These incredible birds spend much of their lives at sea, returning to coastal cliffs and islands during breeding season. Puffins typically nest in burrows or rocky crevices, where parents work together to raise a single chick, affectionately known as a "puffling."
A Pacific Northwest Connection
Although Atlantic puffins are native to the North Atlantic Ocean and aren't found naturally in Washington's coastal waters, they have close relatives here in the Pacific Northwest!
The tufted puffin (Fratercula cirrhata) is a spectacular seabird native to the North Pacific, including Washington's outer coast. Known for its dramatic golden head plumes and colorful bill, the tufted puffin is an iconic species of our region's offshore islands and marine habitats.
Both species belong to the auk family, connecting the Atlantic puffin to the incredible diversity of seabirds found throughout the world's northern oceans.
