Puffin Photograph by J. Glen, 2016 Puffins are sometimes referred to as 'clowns of the sea' due to their brightly coloured beaks and their somewhat clumsy, waddle-like walk. However, the vivid colours of their beaks serve an important purpose—they are used to attract mates. During the breeding season, the beaks become even brighter, functioning as a visual signal to potential partners. This display is a key part of their courtship rituals.
