Juvenile Silver Gull. Looks so different, I thought it was a separate species. Will gain the iconic red-footed look in adulthood.

Examples of same-sex pairs successfully raising young have been documented in at least 20 species, and in a few cases, homosexual couples actually appear to have an advantage over heterosexual ones.¹³

13. In some bird species in which same-sex pairs are unable to obtain fertile eggs on their own (or in which homosexual parenting has yet to be observed in the wild), parenting skills have been demonstrated by supplying homosexual pairs with "foster" eggs or young in captivity. Same-sex pairs of Flamingos, White Storks, Black-headed Gulls, Steller's Sea Eagles, Barn Owls, and Gentoo Penguins, for example, have all successfully hatched such eggs and/or raised foster chicks.
