We’ve told of Tóti the puffin who lives at Sæheimar aquarium in Vestmannaeyjar islands. According to the museum’s Facebook page, its star has fallen in love with a female puffin named Hafdís. A video shows the loved up couple nuzzling each other – and we must say that it’s truly adorable.
The so-called “pysju tímabil”, or ‘puffin chick season’, is currently in full swing in the Vestmannaeyjar islands. That’s when the puffins begin to leave their burrows. Parents will leave their puffin chicks when it is around 40-days-old and head for sea. The chicks will then walk or flap its way out to sea where it will dwell for the next years. However, some of the chicks lose their way and end up in Vestmannaeyjar town, where local children will capture them, feed them, and have them weighed and measured before releasing them to sea.
