  • SVENTIC ! ! ! !

  • do you think it leagal to eat puffins

  • @cheatsyokoopa it is.. they eat them on the Faroe Islands and therefore I also think they eat them in Iceland too. Last time i was there, a cookbook with puffin recipes had just got published and was sold in the bookstores. when they are plucked and cooked they look like small roasted chickens. But Ive been told that they dont taste like chicken.. but like puffins. So I guess u have to eat one to find out how they taste. They are epicly cute and im sorry but I wanna honor this bird by eating it.

  • Awe, they are so cute! Please help save them!

  • poor puffins :(

  • Please don't eat puffins... :'(

  • @CockneyRebel1979

    they taste good

  • I didn't knew puffins could fly

  • They're adorable!

  • First the narrator says: 3:33 "researchers believe the loss of the sand [fish] may be linked with climate change..." then finishes the video basically claiming that it is a fact: "Changing temperatures are creating turmoil across the globe, but for the Westman Islands where puffins have reigned supreme, the changes are hitting close to home."

    Maybe it is due to climate change, but the researchers only said "may be linked". That means they're not sure. However, the narrator does seem sure.

  • Aww so cute!

  • empower and devour. muffins.

  • SAVE THESE BIRDS THEYRE SO CUTE

  • i live in Iceland !

  • dumb

  • its amazing how one little species of fish can affect a whole bunch of animals

  • maybe they are suppose to die :3

  • that's horrible DX

  • ...why did somebody vote my comment saying it's horrible that he said the puffins were supposed to die as being negative? seriously, wtf? are you a puffin hater? look at them! they're so cute!

  • and why did somebody vote that comment negative? stop voting my comments negative when they aren't!

  • dude, im just fucking with you

  • ...yeah... I know. I figured that out six comments ago.

  • ok, good butts

  • i stole a puffin and brought it back to the united states. The government came to my house and took her away : (

  • wtf o.o

  • you're an idiot.

  • that's not very nice. My little Aurora (my puffins name) was just 18 months when they took her. I have to pay 10,000 dollars to the government now. 200 dollar payments every month : (

    i just want my puffin back in my arms. our favorite game was Belly Blower. I would press my lips on her tummy and blow. She would do the same on mine. I miss Aurora : (

  • no... I mean you're an idiot, because the puffin could have died. not because you liked the puffin. I very much understand you liking the puffin, but the fact that you endangered it, and its species, not to mention possible offspring, wasn't very well thought out.

  • I wasn't telling the truth. The government didn't take my Aurora away. I hate her....I got a great puffin recipe off the internet. It tasted a lot like duck and kind of like chicken. I mixed the meat with some alfredo. I'd give the meal an overall score of 8.3 out of 10.

    Rest in Peace Aurora

  • OMG! I know right ? I would stuff it with lime, olive oil and add a bit of those herbes de provences, fry that meat. then wahs it down with some good ole French wine. Miam.. those puffins look like ducks miam miam miam !

  • im sorry. I said i "hate" her. I meant I ATE her. I could never hate my sweet sweet puffin.

  • yeah... you're definitely an idiot. and crazy, too. I don't really believe you, either. that's just too farfetched.

  • ok, maybe you're right...but i dont understand what a POKEMON has to do with this.

  • no. the Pokemon is Farfetch'd. the word is farfetched. c'mon. you can't possibly be that dumb. it means ridiculous and outlandish.

  • These puffins clearly haven't tried the new Angus burger at McDonalds.

  • My God...

  • Lol, thats the most random comment...

  • Those puffins are sooo delicious , but very expensive though

  • good taste!

  • bet you're delicious too

  • No more puffin stuffin? Give them viagra and see what happens.

  • Very Beautiful place

  • I have a sneaking suspicion that if a full investigation was to be carried out, there would be a 'man made' reason for this imbalance, we mess up all sorts of things in and on the Earth, you can take that to the Bank.

  • Good Information I should now I am from iceland

  • im God incarnate

    my da dis retunr of EJSU CHRISt

    obama is antichrist

  • Comment removed

  • We need to start breeding sandsíli more..

  • We need to start breeding this fish type :P

  • I went to Iceland last year and I can truthfully say they're delicious!

  • poor little puffins

  • replace them with chickens

  • we got these all around

  • The Atlanic Puffin? Why can't Americans say atlantic or advantage (advanage) We also have innernet (internet) They are called Puffins 'cause they are allways out of breath, this affects their breeding. Ha haaa.

  • Cool Video! Much more interesting than watching half naked boring girlies! (promoted videos) thanks! Me loves puffins!

  • þannig að vestmannaeyjar er á ensku westman islands

  • can puffins use for snack wrap? with hot sauce?? ..please reply

  • use soy sauce!

  • i live in Vestmannaeyjar/Westmen islands, bitch.

  • Holyshit.

    I live here in Vestmannaeyjar/Westman islands

  • Oh those Poofins

  • ci vorrei andare in islandaaaaaaaaa,...

  • many people do (so do i)

  • bull shit the puffin thrives on the atlantic coast puffin populations are increasing in east canada relax you freaks the sky aint fallin

  • Perhaps it's for the best that the puffins aren't bearing young? It makes sense to limit the population of the species until there is more food. If they were to have more young, there would be even greater hunger among the flock.

  • Well, the puffins are almost gone from the Faroe Islands now, because of the changing weather...

  • Interesante!..i invite you to take a look at my video..pleaese coment it

  • never been. looks interesting though.

  • Haha yea bein inland would do that. X-mas tree capital of the world?? Mmm cool I learned something new today haha

  • Omfg those birds are so fucking cute. HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

  • Puffins are so cute. Nature is magic ...

  • What does that have to do with puffins.

  • Type in JakeR lights FIREWORK in house. It's the funniest shit out on YOU TUBE so far LOL.

  • Oh no! Nature killed an animal!!! We humans have got to spend trillions to learn how to control the weather to save them. Forget that we could feed all of the starving people in he world for the cost of "treating" global warming. Forget that we could cure all known diseases in 10 years for the same cost.

    The main thing is that the puffins breed less, and less puffins will have a smaller carbon foot print. Animals have to do their part too. Think of all the carbon they emit flying around.

  • Helping nature and helping people aren't mutually exclusive. We do more than our part against both.

  • You can spend resources, time and money one one thing, or another. Every dollar and hour of time you spend on "helping" the birds is time and money taken away from something important. Of course no sane person is going to spend their own fortune to "save" the birds. So some government will have to extort it from hardworking people and send it to the birds.

    BTW: We usually do more harm than good when we try to "save" animals. When we mess with nature it we never know the outcome of what we do.

  • There are always going to be people who want to specialize in helping nature and animals. It's a question of pragmatism versus science. The spending on research grants is often the lowest possible, a drop in the bucket next to all the spending on our human institutions (i.e. defense).

    Against the poachers, oil spills, Texas-sized plastic garbage islands, and Chinese River dolphin-killing toxic rivers of the world, I say, let the researchers do what they can; if not, our species may be next.

  • "We usually do more harm than good when we try to "save" animals." - XCritonX

    It was our own greed for natural resources that put these other creatures in the risk and harm they are in. If we leave nature to itself....then we should also stop taking the land these creatures occupy, stop polluting the waters that feed the birds these food sources, As we constantly take and ignore the other species around us, we are killing ourselves off.

  • why is every one walking about god?

    the video is about climate change and the effect on puffins

  • bla bla bla ! era joda, esta bueno :D

  • I love Puffins cause they're like Penguins half Toucan 8D

  • Shouldn't it be Poucan then?

    That was terrible.

  • no no no I mean the looks. The beak, and the way the feather color. blk & white.

  • And I meant the name should be "Poucans", instead of "Puffins".

  • those are cute birds..

  • I rofl'd when I saw the title

  • hello I'm showing my music with animation, they come into my channel to view

  • Comment removed

  • shutup both of you, fucking losers.

    go blow eachother somewhere else

  • wow! all you can say is god made us? stop you christian fanatics the world is crumbling because of greed poverty and bad leaders and all you do is pray! shut up!

  • You hate us but then you say we religious ppl are the cause of all the hate.

    Stop being so hypocrite.

    I can see how the world is turning against us.

    Real love and peace is shedding away fast.

    Peace replaced by security

    love replaced by selfishness.

    We are indeed in the last days.

  • i dont say i blame religious ppl for the cause of all hate. i say what they believe in is bullshit and it consumes the freedom of people silently and one by one. its a virus and a plague and moments like this should make you stop praying and do something. what do you mean the last days? things change. there will be a crysis, the social system wont stand the greed of our leaders, i hope this gives way to a better future using logics and free of your archaic beliefs.

  • Puffins are so unique. I heard that they are very rare and are only found in this region.

  • Not so, Puffins are here in Maine, USA

  • *glomp*

  • Why don they just feed the stupid thing grain or somn like that?

  • Puffins...  puffins.... *huggles puffins* you most definetly aren't penguins... no matter what those uneducated brats think...

  • Yet we continue to put our monetary system, which has absolutely no reality in Nature, before the health of the very planet that sustains us. Obviously this is nothing other than stupidity!

    Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will you realise that you cant eat money. The Native American tribe the Cree

  • sadly puffinius electronis went extinct. famous for shooting lasers out of their eyes to kill prey

  • can't the parent birds regurgitate the large herring to the small birds?

  • some species don't have bulemia. haha

  • 30 years ago everyone was just as convinced we were entering an ice age!!

  • And now it's coming true, 30 years is a blink when talking about climate change.

  • Which do you mean - ice age, or fiery furnace of atomic war?

  • D: NOT THE PUFFINS

  • puffins so cute

  • *SARCASM*

  • Luckily good ol' USA leads the way in being environmentaly friendly. India and China should be disgusted with themselves.

  • Actually, based on Yale Universitys Environmental Performance Index (EPI) for 2008, which takes into account things like invironmental health, air pollution, water resources and productive natural resources, the US doesn't even list in the top 10. top of the charts is switzerland.

  • In my province, there was a little "rock island" (Québec-Gaspésie) where there was many many many of thoes birds, but today, they are all gone.

  • EXACTLY!

  • aww poor little puffins...

    i barely know about them but hopefully they live on and on :D

  • this is so sad.. and its all OUR fault

  • this is newfoundlands bird as well ....have they also done a study?? and cant they eat capelin?? ..........this is a sad thing i hope that this is sopme thing that may pass one way or another ..

  • Where will we be without those little colourful Puffins? Somebody do something QUICK!!!!

  • I don't understand how this video shows the "Empowering" of Puffins.

  • Is anyone commenting on here actually a Puffin?

  • i am!

  • habitat destruction is our major environmental problem atm, it is causing global climate change and a lot of other problems on top of that. global warming is a political tool and the real problem is being overlooked

  • Global warming is natural to a certain extent. But since the industrial revolution, the invention of automobiles, factories, large exponential growth in human population (which adds to the problem of massive amounts of trash and fossil fuel demand), and deforestation has caused the average temperature of the earth in general to increase too quickly and unnaturally. Keep in mind that this all started in the early 20th century and today we are starting to feel the effects.

  • as an educated person i continue to be shocked that there are people who do not believe in global warming.

    with all the scientific evidence that has been found, disbelieving in global warming is just as bad if not worse than disbelieving that the earth is round or that the earth is not the center of the universe

  • i meen iam a icelander we do not polute very much this is just from the other lands !!!

  • leave out huge mounds of fish scrap and leftovers from large fishing companies in the area, the puffins may decide to collect it and feed to young if we blend it up into small enough chunks?

    or is that too ridiculous

  • That makes sense, even if you don't ground it up. But it may make them reliant.

  • I think your right about that, hadn't considered that

  • Puffins are so cute :3

  • I would have to disagree, they ARE cute, AS well as awesome and bad ass , and comical.

    I live in Canada and have had the pleasure of seeing the Puffins a few times, I hope they are always here.
