Ok, but are they going to keep the chimney cam up so we can watch the Vatican seagull chick grow up? The nest must be on the roof since it's obviously too young to fly.

![A screen shot from the Toronto Star's live update stream of reporting on the new pope. In red it says "updated 2 mins ago" at the top. The headline is "Seagulls laned [sic] near chimney just before white smoke began billowing out. It's noted as "by Mark Colley Staff Reporter". There is a picture of a seagul on a roof by a metal chimney on a monitor of some kind. The update states "Minutes before the white smoke started billowing out, a family of seagulls -- including a baby seagull -- landed on the roof of the Sistine Chapel. When the smoke appeared, they moved away but remained on the roof, seemingly unbothered by the momentous decision taking place directly under their feet.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cp2oy7rxxvbekyylpkilwz6q/bafkreig7mhcy7og7cgeuc2sg6pgd2m3b5cuy6ibnaxkklz7swkkh4yhkcu@jpeg)

The Real Stars of the Papal Conclave: Seagulls
Three sea gulls, including a chick, were possibly the first beings on earth to learn that a new pope had been elected on Thursday. Minutes before white smoke bellowed out of the chimney of the Sistine Chapel — a sign that the conclave had ended with a winner — the birds flew in and perched themselves on the roof. After two days of drawing attention to themselves, they grabbed front-row seats to the show in which Robert Francis Prevost, an American, was named pope, taking the name Leo XIV.

A pair of seagulls debuted their baby on the pope cam next to the smoke stack, and everyone went wild, and then not even two minutes later they chose a Pope but everyone was already screaming about the bird.
