Well, you know, what do you want me to do?

Right.

Exactly.

The guy's a moron.

I have similar, but not involving crime.

I had a lot of people pull me over, cops, ladies, asking if I'm Brad Pitt, but then they realize I'm not.

No.

I don't know what.

[puffins calling]

Certain species are very vocal.

If they come to a colony, uh, and spend time amongst decoys that are silent, uh, they may think that, uh, there's a predator nearby or, or, you know, some risk causing birds to be quiet.

Um, so we, uh, use automated, uh, sound playback systems to play calls of species that are very vocal to assist the attraction.

Don says if action isn't taken, this trend could become permanent.

Puffins live a long time.

We have one, one individual that we know is 36 years old.

So as long as adults are able to feed themselves, the population doesn't change very quickly.

Why do puffins, um, live in, within wittle holes in hills that are kind of wittle and that are kind of a, a medium-sized hole?

[laughs] Yeah, so great questions.

You guys already know a lot about puffins.

[laughs] Yeah, so puffins are kind of an unusual bird in that they nest underground.

Um, and so they don't spend all their lives underground, right? They're out on the ocean for most of the year.

Um, but when they come to an island to nest, uh, they will look for a spot, uh, where they can either dig a holeIn dirt, uh, which we call a burrow.

Um, or if an island is really rocky but has some broken up rocks, boulder size rocks, uh, maybe a meter on a side or two or three feet on a side, they will look for crevices in those rocks where they can kinda drop down below the surface, um, and again, find a, a kind of safe little hidden burrow-like space.

They seemed to be on alert, and there were a lot of gulls and other bigger birds flying around in great big circles, I guess maybe just hoping that they could catch sight of a really tasty little puffin baby maybe.
