hi there i had a nest of four baby blackbirds and mum.and dad were regularly feeding them. They are fledglings now. But early hours it sounded like one of the parents were sending out a distress call that's going on this evening but not as bad.
i looked at the nest and there's one fledging in there but has hopped out of the nest but i can hear the baby in the tree, but my worry is that i haven't seen mum and dad feeding this fledging but they are around.
i don't know what's happened to the other babies whether they have just left the nest.
not sure what to do...any advice please.
many thanks
Firstly leave well alone and do not go near to the nest or the birds. If the young have left the nest the parents will be looking out for and after them and they will be feeding them, unless something has happened to one or both (been predated by another larger bird or cat). The babies will hop about the garden for a time and sit in th trees until they are ready to fly about. Secondly the noise you are hearing are the parents protecting the babies, they will sqwak away if a cat, animal, person look to them, to be too near their young. They can be quite aggressive and fly at you and over your head. I have experienced this with them and our wee cat. She has no interest in mum or dad and lies on the mat looking as if to say, what is all the commotion about!
