The first thing to do is to figure out if the baby bird is a nestling or a fledgling. Most of the baby birds people find are fledglings. These are young birds that have just left the nest, and can’t fly yet, but are still under the care of their parents, and do not need our help.

Hatching
On hatching, most baby birds lack feathers that would be able to support even the weakest attempt at flight, and would be unlikely to survive outside of the nest for minutes. The initial days in the nest are spent gaining strength and learning to navigate life: being fed, jostling for position, and strengthening muscles to be able to support their own heads and bodies. Once pin feathers begin to come through, some flapping action may start, which continues as a fuller plumage develops and the...
Fledging
The fledgling stage of a bird’s life is often likened to the teenage years of a human. Ready to spread their wings a little, yet still needing some reassurance and from nearby adults as mistakes are made and experience is gained. Most fledglings leave the nest with a clumsy flutter to the ground with wings and muscles that are not quite strong enough to support flight as we know it. But these early attempts are the building blocks on which young birds gain the knowledge and experience to buil...
Near-maturity
As young birds become almost fully mature, they will have acquired most of their adult plumage and markings. They are perfecting many of the life skills they need to survive, gaining knowledge about avoiding predators, safe spots to roost in, and foods that are suitable to eat, and look to their parents and in some cases, other flock numbers, as a kind of increasingly distant “safety net.” At this stage, the majority of their flight skills have been developed.
Young birds typically leave the nest around 2 weeks after hatching, but there is enormous variation between species. The average time taken across all species is thought to be 19 days, but anything between 12 and 21 days is typical. 1. American robinsare one of the fastest to fledge, being capable of some flight from around 9 days. 2. Starlingsfled...
While a lot of flight skills are gained from observation and reinforcement, research suggests that there is definitely an element of instinct to flight, with the impulse to fly being inherited as well as acquired. Instinct will surely kick in as birds discover ways of honing their own flight skills through continued practice, but this is closely re...
Many bird species such as nightjars, plovers, killdeer, and larks are raised from nest sites on or close to the ground. Practice is perhaps more awkward from flat land rather than dropping from a higher branch or nest site, but as the muscles in the breast are strengthened, flight will eventually be mastered, no matter what the altitude.
Aerial birds, such as swifts, swallows, and martins, are not anatomically designed for walking, and will always fly in preference to moving on their feet. However, these birds are the exception, and for other species, it’s always feet that are used first. During their early days in the nest, a hatchling’s legs strengthen and they become more able t...
After first leaving the nest, fledglings spend the next few days and weeks on the ground, where they practice their flying skills and build up their muscles until they are capable of longer, more refined flight. Wrens, for example, fledge at between 15 and 18 days, but cannot fly smoothly until they are between 4 and 8 weeks old. Some birds, such a...
Most birds leave their nests for a short period to walk around and explore their surroundings. Once they start to grow feathers, they leave for a longer time to stretch their wings and try flying. Once they are confident fliers, juvenile birds will leave the nest for good. This article includes everything you need to know about how birds leave ...
Young Birds Fly: Directed by Leonardo Flores. With Tracy Mathewson, Saree Costa, Elizabeth J. Blanchard, Luke Barnett. A quirky coming of age tale about a teenager who gets involved in the Southern California Mod culture scene.
As baby birds make their wobbly exit from the crowded nest, they enter the final stretch into adulthood known as the juvenile stage. Arguably, we humans may not give this phase the same level of appreciation that we do for eggs and the helpless.
