Atlantic Puffin Doormat #6 | Puffin Welcome Mat

In Scotland, they've always known the Atlantic Puffin by a better name: Tammie Norie. It's a name that captures something the Latin never quite could — the Puffin's comic dignity, its waddling confidence, its sheer improbability as a creature. Known scientifically as Fratercula arctica and celebrated the world over as the Sea Parrot, the Clown of the Sea, the Sea Clown, the Arctic Monk, and the Parrot of the Sea, the Atlantic Puffin is one of the most beloved seabirds on earth. Capable of diving 60 metres, carrying up to 10 fish at once in that vivid rainbow bill, and returning to the same burrow year after year — this is a bird of extraordinary loyalty, resilience, and charm. Puffins have been recorded living over 30 years in the wild, and were once so abundant in Iceland that they were a staple food source for coastal communities.

Made from durable natural coir fibers (coconut), this Atlantic Puffin welcome mat effectively traps dirt and debris while adding personality and warmth to your entryway. The sturdy non-slip backing keeps the mat securely in place, making it suitable for front doors, porches, and covered outdoor areas.

Available in three sizes, this Atlantic Puffin coir doormat fits a variety of entryways and spaces — a beautifully thoughtful gift for birdwatchers, coastal lovers, and anyone who finds joy in the wild seabirds of the North Atlantic.
