It's our official bird. And no they don't taste good.
The Atlantic Puffin is the provincial bird. About 95% of all North America's puffins breed around the Newfoundland and Labrador coasts.
The largest puffin colony in the western Atlantic (225,000 pairs) can be found at the Witless Bay Ecological Reserve, 32km south of St. John's. http://www.gov.nl.ca/aboutnl/puffin.htm
Feel free to start the jokes about the community names here now.

A little picante, a nice Chianti and some fava beans will take care of that. I haven't tried one, but I've heard our State Bird is quite tasty--and illegal to kill.

Isn't that the mosquito? They're scary big. I think I'd rather eat the turkeys they rape.....
