Let´s give it up for week 5 of my Seagull Log. I got really excited for last week´s events on my favorite bird nest. As always, if you´re new to this series here are the previous entries so far:
So, I got a surprise for you guys out there, one of the chicks managed to fly for a few seconds in the air! Granted it not a proper flight, but it was really cool watching it try. As you can see below:
The seagull in question is from the twin's nest, as I mentioned earlier there a bit more developed than the triplets nest, as they were born earlier. They spend most of the afternoon making more attempts.
Now the triplets nest hasn´t been all that active when it comes to flying, or maybe I just missed something. But here´s what they look like now:
Meanwhile back at the twin's nest. The two little ones have seemed to become more obsessed with grooming when they´re not feeding or trying to fly. I assume this helps them get rid of some of the leftover baby feathers to make way for proper adult ones.
There was also this one moment where one of them almost slides to the other side of the roof.
Sometimes they can be found trying to fly in pairs:
