Bye Bye, Birdie!
Baby robins jump from their nest when they are about 13 days old. Leaving the nest is called fledging.

This is a dangerous time for baby robins. They need time—and safe places—to practice flying. Please keep kitty indoors!

Mom and dad still help feed them. The babies now sleep at night on a tree branch with dad. Mom will soon be sitting on new eggs for her next brood.

The babies are good fliers just 10-15 days after fledging. They are independent birds. What’s next? Follow robin migration with Journey North.
