People are tossing baby puffins off cliffs and shorelines in Iceland - and it’s for their own good! These people are on Puffling Patrol and they’re saving the baby puffins one by one ❤️ I first learned about the Puffling Patrol because many of you tagged me in a video by Kyana Sue Powers (kyanasue on TikTok and IG), and then I went down a rabbit hole learning more about it! She posts about all things Iceland if you’re interested in more. 🇮🇸 🎥 CBC News / Nat Geo TV / odawandreasen (TikTok) / C

Footage show Icelanders helping help baby puffins take flight and start migration - by throwing them off a cliff.
