What is the Atlantic puffin birth?

a Atlantic puffin is born in the south part of the Atlantic ocean. puffins can fly swim and they can also catch fish with their beaks. there are only about 200 Atlantic puffin still alive in the world. the Atlantic puffin has a egg and the mother would sit on the egg while the father went to go find more supplies for the nest to make it comfy for the egg. when the father was done he would come and fix the nest and sit on the egg while the mother would go get food for the family. 3 months from when the egg layed the egg would hatch and there would be a baby puffin. when the baby is 5 months old the mother and the father would leave the puffin on its own and the mother would die 8 months after the egg hatched. so the father would go with the mother and make her a nest and she would die there. no ofen a baby puffin is born. maybe 3 baby's every year.
