Billing 3I7828
A mated pair of puffins performs a ritual behavior called billing. They rub their bills together, side to side, and their attraction seems to spill over to surrounding birds that watch, almost gleefully. Of course, puffins also use their bills for conflicts, aggression, and brawling. Here too, they may attract observers. Of course, even though there is "billing" involved with courtship, there is no betting involved with brawling. It seems that this may be one of the few times when receiving a big bill is better than having a few extra bucks! ! #Puffins #AtlanticPuffins
