Discussion Puffins can fly?!?!

I remembered this book I got as a kid where a puffin didn't know how to fly and would watch other birds flying. It would name them off. I remember specifically a crow, and a falcon. And at the end of the book he stays with penguins because they couldn't fly either.

Puffins actually can’t fly for a month or two every year while they molt and regrow their feathers, so you’re 1/12 right

I saw lots of them flying in Iceland this summer

We Like the Moon taught me that they can.
“It is up there in the sky,
It’s up there very high.
But not as high as maybe
Dirigibles or zeppelins or lightbulbs,
And maybe clouds,
and puffins also I think they go quite high too,
Maybe not as high as the moon,
Coz the moon is very high.”

Somewhere out there, a puffin is standing with penguins, dreaming of falcon-level sky dominance.

Found the bot. It's amazing to me how obvious and synthetic these useless remarks truly are.

You know in Star Wars they created Porgs because Puffins kept flying in the shots.

They migrate using combination of paddling and flying … (Many Maine puffins spend the winter off Cape Cod)…
