Our Small Plastic Puffin This plastic puffin is one of our series of lively and lifelike plastic animals, or in this case, plastic birds. Its realistic shape and details will be enjoyed as part of a school project, diorama, plastic animal collection, as a party favor, or gift. People also enjoy using our plastic bird replicas as cake toppers or on top of cupcakes. They also make wonderful educational toys for children over the age of three. Our plastic puffin measures 3 3/4 inches across the wingspan. This little puffin looks like it might be warning intruders or ready to take flight. Our puffin sits up by leaning on its tail. Please check out our other puffins as well as all of our bird replicas, toys and gifts. Atlantic puffins have penguin-like coloring but they sport a colorful beak that has led some to dub them the a “sea parrot. The beak fades to a drab gray during the winter and blooms with color again in the spring—suggesting that it may be attractive to potential mates.These birds live most of their lives at sea, resting on the waves when not swimming. They are excellent swimmers that use their wings to stroke underwater with a flying motion. They steer with rudderlike webbed feet and can dive to depths of 200 feet, though they usually stay underwater for only 20 or 30 seconds. Puffins typically hunt small fish like herring or sand eels.In the air, puffins are surprisingly fleet flyers. By flapping their wings up to 400 times per minute they can reach speeds of 55 miles an hour.
