Around the world, puffins are known by several different names. In the Shetland and Orkney Islands off Scotland's northern coat the name for a puffin is Tammie Norrie and in Iceland and Norway they are called lundi or lunde. Puffins have predominantly black or black and white plumage, a stocky build, and large beaks. Most people recognize the puffin by its colorful beak but it is born with a dull beak which changes over the years.
