Ask Terasa

Would you like to ask Terasa a question about the environment and nature? If we select your question we'll publish it on the website.

Q: I have two baby Carolina Wrens in a nest in my Geranium off of my porch. I have been watching the mommy and daddy bird feed them for the past 10 days. How long before the babies are ready to fly on their own?

A: I have been hoping for a nest in one of the ferns hanging on my porch but no luck yet. Carolina Wrens typically fledge the nest around 12-14 days after the eggs hatch. I suspect your little ones will be gone within the next few days.
