I posted here because I know many who garden put out nest boxes. These babies should be ready to go, there is one perched half way out of the box. The parents keep coming around, but one baby is on the ground hopping forward and trying to take off, but can’t. He spreads his wings and tries to flap them but then just tips forward. When the parents bring him something to eat, he flaps his wings very hard and fast to have them bring him food, so I don’t think he has a broken wing. I’m not sure if he was pushed out by another or tried to take off and fell out. I just noticed this about 1/2 hour ago.
Has anyone had this happen to them if you use nest boxes? I’ve had tree swallows and blue birds for the past four years and never had this.
