Footage show Icelanders helping help baby puffins take flight and start migration - by throwing them off a cliff. The practice takes place every year at the end of summer in the Westman Islands, an archipelago off Iceland’s south coast.

Throwing baby puffins off of a cliff is not as bad as it sounds. From late August to September, many people in Iceland search for pufflings to launch into the sea. Though it may sound harsh, it has become a practice that is vital to the survival of the species.

People are tossing baby puffins off cliffs and shorelines in Iceland - and it’s for their own good! These people are on Puffling Patrol and they’re saving the baby puffins one by one ❤️ I first learned about the Puffling Patrol because many of you tagged me in a video by Kyana Sue Powers (kyanasue on TikTok and IG), and then I went down a rabbit hole learning more about it! She posts about all things Iceland if you’re interested in more. 🇮🇸 🎥 CBC News / Nat Geo TV / odawandreasen (TikTok) / C
