Puffins: The Neat Freaks of the Avian World Puffins, those charming seabirds often associated with colorful beaks and quirky behaviors, have an intriguing habit that sets them apart from many other birds. These seabirds meticulously designate a specific area in their burrows or nests as a bathroom. Nesting on remote islands and cliffs in the North Atlantic, puffins create underground burrows where they raise their young. To keep their nests clean and organized, they designate a chamber or corner as the “bathroom.“ Puffins conveniently defecate in this designated area, keeping the rest of their living space pristine. This behavior not only maintains hygiene but also helps reduce the risk of disease within their colonies. Puffins’ fastidious housekeeping habits are just one example of the ingenious ways that wildlife adapts to thrive in their unique environments, proving that even in the wild, cleanliness is next to birdliness. #puffins #puffin #birds #puffinsofinstagra
