Large puffins cannot eat puffins or puffin eggs. They do scare puffins and annoy them but only to make them drop their fish that they have caught. They really do not eat the puffins; they just want the fish that they have caught.
The primary enemies of Arctic puffins include larger seabirds, such as great black-backed gulls and skuas, which prey on puffin chicks and eggs. Additionally, foxes and other land predators can threaten puffins during the breeding season when they are on land. Human activities, such as climate change and oil spills, also pose significant threats to their habitats and food sources.
Puffins lay 1 egg per year
Natural Predators of the Atlantic puffin include gulls and skuas, specifically the Great Black-backed Gull, the Great Skua, and the Herring Gull. Other predators include rats, cats, dogs, and foxes. The are also hunted by people for their meat, feathers, and eggs. Tufted Puffins have three major predators: the Snowy Owl, Bald Eagles, and Arctic Foxes. They are also hunted by people. Predators of the Horned Puffin are gulls, larger predatory birds, and rats. People also hunt them.
puffins are hunting animals
In the past, puffin numbers have suffered as the birds' pelts have been used for clothing and their eggs prized by collectors. However, North Atlantic puffins, with an estimated population of six million, are neither extinct nor endangered. Puffins are adaptable to a wide range of conditions. Elsewhere, horned puffins and common puffins have not suffered a dramatic drop in population, but tufted puffins have fallen in numbers.
A puffin nest is called a "burrow." Puffins typically dig these burrows into the soil or use natural crevices on cliffs to create a safe environment for their eggs. The nests are usually lined with grass, feathers, and other soft materials to provide comfort for their chicks.

Puffins go through several life stages: they start as eggs, which are laid in burrows during the breeding season. After about 40 days, the chicks, known as pufflings, hatch and are fed by their parents. Once fledged, the young puffins leave the nest and spend several years at sea before returning to land to mate and breed. Adult puffins typically live for 20 years or more, returning to the same nesting sites each year.
