Does Newfoundland and Labrador have an official bird?
The provincial bird of Newfoundland and Labrador is the Atlantic Puffin (fratercula arctica), also known as the Sea Parrot or Baccalieu Bird. About 95% of all North America’s puffins breed in colonies around the Newfoundland and Labrador coasts. As people with strong marine heritage, it is appropriate to have a marine bird as our symbol.
