The Arctic Monkeys were originally named The Arctic Puffins, but after an acrimonious copyright battle with some actual arctic puffins, the band were forced to change their name.

The tears of a Puffin can heal numerous diseases and disorders, but this information is suppressed by global pharmacy companies.

A Puffin from Iceland gave Damon Albarn the idea for his Gorillaz project.

Due to the precarious places in which they live, all Puffins are routinely trained in Search and Rescue techniques.

Puffins cannot recognise their own reflection. This is to prevent them from becoming vain.

The phrase ‘rarer then hen’s teeth’ should actually be ‘rarer than Puffin’s teeth’. Neither actually have teeth.

This is not an actual Puffin: (with thanks to the ever-helpful @andijah)

Puffins can live up to 31 years of age, although this is difficult to prove due to their similar appearance and devious nature.

Puffins do not require Passports, but have them anyway.

Puffins have a trace of Vodka in their blood to prevent freezing in the winter.
