Blackbird fledglings leaving the nest!

Blackbird fledglings leaving the nest, caught on video!

The very early Blackbird nest, a brood of two hatchlings, is at the point where the two surviving young birds become fledglings. We caught the blackbird fledglings on video, as they flew the nest! Well, more of a controlled crash and walk out of the nest, LOL. They thrash around, flap their wings, like by remote control or better said, God’s genetic commands. It’s a long video, like a nature documentary on blackbird fledglings leaving the nest! That way you can relax, enjoy the sounds of the baby birds or blackbird young as they are called and watch how awkward, yet successful it is for a blackbird to leave their nest.

Amazing to follow the blackbirds from nesting, through hatching of the eggs, till the young fledge or fly the nest!

Don’t forget, these blackbird young or chicks, just hatched two weeks earlier! Incredible how that works. The little birds or fledglings spent the night in the shrub near to this one, under the cover of the leaves. That tree keeps leaves year round, which is why the blackbirds seem to choose this garden to nest in, year after year.

“
When do baby blackbirds leave the nest?

Baby blackbirds leave the nest around 13-14 days after they have hatched. You may see a baby blackbird or two before this, though, as they can fly a week after they have been born.

Still, they will typically pack their bags and leave mum and dad at around the two-week mark. If the nest is in danger, though, blackbirds can leave it and survive for nine days.” Source: https://birdfact.com/articles/blackbi...

Being able to video the blackbirds nesting was amazing, but to witness these brave young chicks, jump out of their nest, just leads me to thank God. What a moment to witness, yet alone capture on film. Enjoy this bird video!
