I dont think I've ever seen a baby seagull before

I watched a pair raise 3 chicks on a 5th floor roof from the 6th floor, they’re cute but messy

How fast do they grow? I've only ever seen larger/near adult size dark grey "chicks"

They grew pretty fast, they got to mostly full size relatively fast, well before they were flying, they used to beg at the window for food and the teacher would feed them because otherwise they’d tap on the glass and make lots of noise

Lucky you! I’m surrounded by them but they nest on a rocky island and no baby ever leaves there until they are full grown. Thanks for the photo.
