First plume of black smoke signals end to 1st vote as cardinals consider Pope Francis's successor

Today may be all about the cardinals, but a couple of seagulls are stealing some of the conclave spotlight as the world watches the Sistine Chapel’s chimney.

Viewers of the livestreams have taken note of a seagull sitting on the roof. The bird has been in live video shots for hours, as The Associated Press reports, along with a chick that also entered the video frame.

As I write, the bird is flying in circles around the roof. Probably trying to get a better view.

On the social media platform X, one user wrote: “Shoutout to that one seagull locked in on the conclave proceedings.”

“BREAKING NEWS: Two seagulls AND a baby seagull have taken [a] seat besides the chimney,” wrote another.

“Has there ever been a more closely watched seagull?” asked another person.

On the social media platform X, several spoof accounts already exist for “Sistine Seagull” and “Conclave Seagull” from the last conclave, when the birds behaved in a similar fashion.
