Bluebird young will fledge in fifteen to twenty days. Even though the parents will keep feeding them, the fledglings can find their own food in about two weeks.
Some of the newly independent youngsters from the first brood are often seen bringing food to their new siblings. They teach us much about the “bond of love of family.” This often continues into the fall and at times they stay together until the following spring. This is a great example to we humans of how we should support family members.
So what are you waiting for!? Get your bluebird houses up, mealworms and water out, and sit back and watch for “brilliant blue to appear.” Good luck!
