Last Four Baby Blackbirds
33 Answers
the next four baby blackbirds are fledging today. three have left the nest one is still in it.
I can see this being more stressful that the previous two because the three that have left are ALL on the ground. I've had to move two of them so far which mum wasn't terribly impressed about.
So far our score is Blackbirds 8 Cats 0 - so I'm going for 100% success rate.

They are very good and feed them in strict rotation. Of course, I help out by leaving them little goodies. They particularly like sultanas, as long as they are well soaked. I'm not sure why I'm so worried because the moment a cat sets foot in this garden, the parents will start their warning song, I hear it and shoot outside.
That's what got me out of bed this morning! Despite the fact our bedroom is at the front, I could hear the birds going crazy at the back.

A blackbird's warning call can be heard for miles around. It's very distinctive.

They will come back next year BM. We have had the same 'chocolatety' brown female nesting in our garden for the last four years. We sometimes see her in winter too. I don't think they go too far.

Isn't it just Sloopy. Of course, once I've fed cats, fed and cleaned out the chickens, guarded and fed the blackbirds, made sure the water pots are full for the hedgies (they get their food later), watered the veg, watered the hanging baskets, I also have to feed Mr BM, son of Mr BM and at some point myself! Meanwhile, Mr BM and son of Mr BM will be playing Xbox........
