Similarly, are puffins friendly? It's no secret that one of our favourite things to do on Staffa in the summer is puffin watching. These remarkable birds live most of their lives on the ocean, migrating to coastal regions during breeding season. They're also incredibly friendly, and serve as one of the best attractions on our tours.
Similarly one may ask, are puffins dangerous to humans?
Puffins are not endangered but they are threatened by human activities and are rare in many areas where they were once abundant. As a result, it is important to protect critical puffin breeding and feeding habitat. In some parts of their range there are just a few colonies.
Do puffins like humans?
Puffins usually colonize uninhabited islands or rocky cliffs. They dive for fish in the ocean. They avoid humans. We could see them in groups along the cliffs, watch them floating along in the ocean, in pairs, see them flying either alone or in groups and we could sometimes see them diving for fish.
