Does anyone know how long before a blackbird fledgling can fly?
We have just had a nest of blackbirds for the first time in 15 years of owning our house, but the cats have discovered it. I knew we had a nest, but it's so out of the way I had no way to know how old the babies were and whether they had left the nest or not. Our garden is closed off so the cats can't get out and neighbor cats can't get in, but now we have blackbirds fledgling in the garden I have to keep the cats confined indoors. Our birddog shows no interest in it, luckily. I have only seen one, so I don't know if there is another one or not but I assume it's just the one.
