In late summer, people in Iceland look for baby puffins(海鹦). Then, they throw the birds into the air! Don't worry. This helps the birds find their way back home.
The puffin is Iceland's national bird. It lives on the sea. In summer, millions of puffins come to land to lay their eggs. After about six weeks, the babies are big enough to head back to the sea. But on their way back, they are often attracted(被吸引) by man-made lights. So they get lost in towns.
To save these birds, people go out at night. They wear gloves and carry boxes. Many of these helpers are kids! They look for the lost babies on the streets, in garages(车库), and on rooftops. They put the birds in boxes and take them home for the night.
The next morning, people throw the birds off a cliff(悬崖) by the sea. Once in the air, the birds know what to do. They fly to the sea!
