fledging
One of my babies is fledging but sitting on the grass for hours. I’m concerned about the neighborhood cats. I put him back in the box last night but he’s out again. Should I do anything or let nature take its course. Papa is checking on him.

Do you know if the baby can fly? What happened since then please? Was there more babies in the nest and they are all doing okay? How old were the babies in the nest when they left it please?
It is good that Papa is checking on him. Often they will keep on feeding them where they are.

I’m no expert, but from what I’ve read, if you can’t secure his safety while watching, put him back in the box. He might be the runt and need some extra time. Mealworms will only help him now, too! Good luck, this is so stressful I’m sure!
