Fledgling birds need to be fed smaller food that is suitable for their diets. If there are fledging birds in your garden, feed them a seed mix for fledglings, including foods like peanut granules and naked oats.

Fledgling is the stage in a flying animal's life between hatching or birth and becoming capable of flight. Fledging is the term mostly used for birds but it can also be used for baby bats! In this blog, we answer your most asked questions about baby birds!

If you see a baby bird on the ground - all alone and seemingly abandoned by its parents - your first instinct may be to offer the fledgling a helping hand.

However, in most cases, you should not intervene. Yes, it's hard not to feel sorry for a young bird who appears to be struggling, but your attempt to assist may end up interfering with a critical stage of the fledgling's development. Birds have to learn to stand on their own two feet and fly on their own two wings!
