[edit] Breeding
Added by Moomoop2: "The Atlantic Puffin is sexually mature at age 5-6 and breeding occurs for approximately 3 years. This bird incubates by holding the egg up to its brood patch with its wing." (1) Sexually mature at 5-6, yes, sure. (2) Breeding occurs for 3 years??? What does that mean? It's nonsense - they often live into their 20s. Deleted. (3) holds the egg against the brood patch with its wing? Sounds like nonsense. Any evidence? Meanwhile, I have deleted it. Gnusmas 13:00, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

- I think I need to rewrite the entire thing. Some truths, much rubbish, with half-baked additions coming along frequently, and mostly very badly written. I guess it's a species with a high nonsense-attraction factor! It needs more than mere editing... I'll get around to it and do a complete new article soon. Gnusmas 07:45, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Map
I'd like to see a map of the Atlantic puffin's range. Unfortunately, I have no experience in making that kind of map. --Gray Porpoise 03:07, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
