April and Bryan were walking around Iceland at midnight when they spotted something they never expected to see in the middle of the street: a baby puffin. 🐧
They learned that young puffins can become disoriented by town lights when they leave their burrows, accidentally heading inland instead of toward the ocean.
The couple, who both had animal rescue experience, carefully picked him up and brought him to a local rescue center. But it was already closed for the night, so they kept the puffling safely contained overnight and returned the next morning, where he was weighed and cleared for release.
April and Bryan brought the little puffin, whom they named Orin, to the cliffs, where other puffins were flying all around them.
The couple watched Orin fly out and land near a group of other young puffins. April was so overwhelmed that she started crying.
After traveling seven hours to Iceland for a vacation, April and Bryan called this the highlight of their entire trip. ❤️
