Pictures of Puffins. Sea Parrot posing by wildflowers with beautiful deep aquamarine waters stretching out behind. Sea Parrot is one of a number of nicknames applied to the Atlantic Puffin. Its remarkable beak and strikingly adorned eyes giving it a resemblence to the colourful birds of rainforest. However the Atlantic Puffin is not at all tropical, spending much of its life out at sea in the cold waters of the northern Atlantic, even up as far as the Arctic circle. Sea Parrots only return to land once a year in order to breed, staying long enough for their offspring to fledge and then returning to the ocean.
