Blue Tit Juveniles

[-John]

Just finished watching the formula1 one, came down stairs and saw blue tits vigorously flying around the garden. Went out into the garden and found 2 blue tit juveniles nestled beneath the plants.

Heard a bang from my greenhouse. A baby bird at flown the nest and crash down. And 5 minutes after that, we watched another baby bird flop from the nest hole down to the undergrowth.

Now there are several juveniles together being fed by parents. But what I was wondering, is when will they be strong enough to fly?! I am sitting by the patio doors watching everything. Even though they are very cute, I need them to fly away for my nerves (I've already been out with a class of water for the local cat!).

Any ideas of a time frame, if they might fly away today?

Cheers

They should be able to fly weakly on leaving the nest. I shouldn't think it would take them long at all to build up strength.
