If it is attacked, it grows larger, spreads its wings and opens its beak while striking its paws against the ground to intimidate its opponents but if they do not want to fight on the contrary, a puffin that walks in front of another's nest, will put its It peaks in the chest and will pass quickly, indicating that it is only passing.
