The Atlantic puffin acquired the name at a much later stage, possibly because of its similar nesting habits, [11] and it was formally applied to Fratercula arctica by Pennant in 1768. [9] While the species is also known as the common puffin, "Atlantic puffin" is the English name recommended by the International Ornithological Congress. [12]
The eggs of the Atlantic puffin are typically creamy white but the occasional egg is tinged lilac. Where rabbits breed, sometimes Atlantic puffins breed in rabbit burrows. Puffins form long-term pair bonds or relationships. The female lays a single egg, and both parents incubate the egg and feed the chick (or "puffling").
