What are the physical characteristics of a puffin?

Puffins are seabirds that are characterized by their colorful beaks, stocky bodies, and short wings. They have black and white plumage, with a white belly and black back and wings. Their beaks are brightly colored, ranging from red to orange to yellow, and are used for catching fish. Puffins also have a distinctive crest of feathers on the top of their heads, which is more pronounced during the breeding season. They have short legs and webbed feet, which are used for swimming. Puffins typically measure around 10 inches in length and weigh around 1 pound.
