About These Birds
Atlantic Puffin
「海のピエロ」とも呼ばれるニシツノメドリは、北海の崖に穴を掘って営巣する魅力的な海鳥。口蓋に後ろ向きの棘があるため、一度に12匹もの魚を横向きにくわえて運ぶことができる。気候変動と乱獲による餌不足が脅威となり、個体数が減少している。

In the wild, these sociable parrots roost communally in large flocks and fly in pairs to feeding sites at dawn. Habitat loss and trapping for the pet trade threaten wild populations.
