| The
fledgling
takes a jump and flaps, but isn't quite flying.
The baby is building leg and wing strength. It takes time
to
build the skills to fly, just as it took you time
to learn to walk! Babies can take short flights a few days
after leaving the nest. As their flying improves, dad leads
them at night to a roost with other dads and babies. This
teaches
them flocking behavior. It helps them join their first flock
so they can watch and learn from other robins. This baby's
adventure is just beginning! |
