spiritangel1 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Does anyone know how long chicks take to fly as I have a nest in my magnolia tree and the adult birds are flying backwards and forwards feeding them.I have no idea when they hatched as I only noticed a few days ago when I heard them.My tree needs pruning but I will wait till they go just wondered how long before its safe to prune and cause no harm to the chicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peak Bob Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Just skick your head in the tree if you can if the nest is empty they have gone thats the only safe way to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peak Bob Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 True but 21 day from when ? if the person in question has no idea when the eggs hatched best to wait while all activity has stoped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terminator Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 True but 21 day from when ? if the person in question has no idea when the eggs hatched best to wait while all activity has stopedObviously from when they first realised they were there just to be sure.

Peak Bob Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 no need to mess about like that just wait while all activity has stoped its not an exact science anyway the bird will be fine if you use common sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
