Atlantic puffins spend most of their lives at sea, returning to land only to form breeding colonies during spring and summer. The Atlantic puffin’s beak appears a dull shade of grey during winter, but it changes to a bright orange when spring returns. This change earns it a nickname of “sea parrot.”
