boxes and flashlights. They search the streets at night. They look for lost
pufflings!
在冰島，有一些家庭會加入海鸚鵡巡邏隊。他們會在晚上帶著箱子跟手電筒，到街上尋找走失的小海鸚鵡！
Pufflings are baby puffins. These birds live by the ocean. They are black and
white. They look like they're wearing tuxedos! In the summer, their beaks
have bright colors.
Puffling
就是小海鸚鵡。牠們住在海邊，有著像燕尾服的黑白色皮毛，到了夏天，牠們的嘴巴會變成明亮的顏色。
Six-week-old pufflings leave their homes. They fly to the ocean. The moon's
light shows them the way.
六個月大的小海鸚鵡會離開家裡，飛向海邊。月光會引導牠們方向。
But some pufflings see city lights. They think the lights are the moon. The
lights are not near the ocean. In the city, cars, cats, and dogs can hurt
them!
但是有一些小海鸚鵡以為城市的光線是月光，所以飛到有車子、貓跟狗的城市，這很危險！
These pufflings are lost! And that's when the Puffin Patrol helps! Families
carefully pick up the pufflings. They keep the birds safe in the boxes.
好險巡邏隊前來救援！他們會把找到的小海鸚鵡放在安全的箱子裡。
The next morning, the families take the pufflings to the ocean. There, they
let the pufflings go free!
