Update: I went to check on the squabs 2 days ago, and they had both got stuck in a gap between my balcony and next door, they must have been sacred from the strong winds, I didnt touch them, but they were still stuck 2 days later... I had to call someone in, they came and freed them, put them in a box and took them away, they said they would put them on the roof of the flats as they are almost ready to fly off... I could hear them screaming as they were stuck.... Hopefully they will be ok..
Ive got 2 on my balcony, they hatched 4 weeks ago, I just want rid of them now, but havent got the heart to hurt them.... Surely they must be ready to fly of any time soon... They look just like this one.
@hofsteveO Please be patient and do not hurt them. They should be flying any day now. It takes 30 to 32 days after hatching. They should be fluttering and stretching their wings around this time. Don't worry--they will be flying very soon!
They have walked about, and have flapped their wings, but The amount of crap they have left, I cant take any more, I have considered catching them in a box, and moving them elsewhere, maybe on the roof....
