Every August, the children of a small island off the south coast of Iceland stay up past midnight to save baby birds. The island is called Heimaey, part of the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago. It is home to the largest puffin colony on earth. More than a million adult puffins nest in d's grassy cliffs each summer, and when late August arrives, their chicks are ready to leave for the ocean for the first time. The problem is the lights. Baby puffins, called pysjas in Icelandic, navigate by moonlight. When they take their first flight in the dark, the streetlights and harbour lights of the town confuse them. Instead of heading out to sea, they veer toward land, landing in car parks, wandering down streets, huddling under vehicles, and exhausting themselves among the houses of a town that has no idea what to do with them. Every year, the kids of Vestmannaeyjar form what they call the Pysja Patrol. They go out after dark with cardboard boxes, chase down the disoriented chicks by hand, and bring them home. In 2024 alone, the children of an island with 4,500 inhabitants rescued more than 4,200 pufflings. Roughly one bird for every person who lives there. The next morning they take the boxes to the cliff edge, reach in, and throw each bird gently into the wind toward the sea. The tradition has been running for generations. Since 2003 every rescued puffling is first taken to the local natural history museum to be weighed, measured, and tagged before release. The data collected by children with cardboard boxes has contributed to decades of scientific research on one of the world's most important seabird populations. Iceland is home to sixty percent of all the world's puffins.

As long as these two leaders are in power, America and Israel are safe. Agree?
