What's black and white and dirty all over? An Atlantic Puffin in it's frat house burrow of course! Learn about these very social birds and their party-like breeding behaviors. This episode is full of strange and fun facts- like how puffin bills glow in the dark, how they may be on the diet for some deep sea monsters, and how they basically live in an underground frat house with other species. Also, my friend Hubert from Iceland talks about his experience visiting a puffin colony! Interspersed with folklore and evolutionary history, this episode is educational and entertaining for all you bird nerds and nature enthusiasts. ...Intro by Ricky Pistone and Outro by the Sidewalk Slammers..All bird sounds are from xeno-canto.orgPuffin Opener by Anthony McGeehanPufflin begging chirp by Stanislas WrozaPuffling scream by Rombout de WijsPuffin Wingbeats by Stanislas WrozaPuffin Moan by Irish Wildlife SoundsPuffin Grunts 1 by Stein Ø.
