Getting ready to fledge.
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
The last few days in the nest are devoted to eating and removing the sheath that surrounds their flight feathers. These bluebirds fledged 13 and 14 days after hatching. That is a little early the normal being between 16-21 days. From the looks of progress cleaning their wings, they could have used a couple more days in the nest. The second one to fledge, did not have a lot of lift on his first flight. Mom and dad make adjustments for that and feed them on the ground.while they continue to work on their feathers.

Absolutely amazing video
I love blue 🐦💖😁
That was really neat. Thanks for sharing
Nice video. Hungry little birds for sure.
@ 2:22....this is why I glue a small little ledge inside the birdhouses I make so they have something to stand on when they wanna get out.
Sorry for the delay, I've not responded to comments before. No special food during nesting, however we feed mealworms in the winter.
My birds fledged the day before we had a bad tropical storm blow through. I found one chick dead near my porch. I'm assuming it flew into it and died. I have no idea what else could have happened. Another chick was out in the open on my lawn and I shooed it over to where I had the cover of a young Alberta spruce. It didn't seem to have any ability to fly. I wish luck to them. This pair raised 2 broods this season.

Sorry about that.
congratulations! do you need to specially purchase foods/worms for bluebirds and babies? I just found 4 eggs in our bluebirds nest. I'm so so so excited!!!

Hi Nels, any idea what the big ruckus was when the first baby fledged? Hopefully he/she didn't get nabbed by other birds. Tks for the video.
What king of camera are you using, looks good.

I'd love to know what kind of camera he uses, too. I want one, but don't know much about them. I have 5 babies in my nest box right now. They just hatched a day or two ago. Wish I could see inside the nest and watch what they're doing.

It could be a Hi Def camera, I purchased the "Hawk Eye" HD bird camera on Amazon. It is the best that I have found. It is much better than the low resolution ones you get on Ebay.

An inner perch would help the fledglings to get to the hole easier. If no inner perch it would be a good idea to at least rough up the wood under the hole or cut some horizontal grooves. Nice video with high quality audio.
