So, I've got this robin that has taken up residence under one of the eaves on my house and built a nest right where the gutter tucks back in under the eave and connects to the house.
Her baby birdies have hatched and have been eating regularly. When will they learn to fly so I can take the nest down and paint the corner of the house?

Most birds have a gestation of about 3 weeks and the young learn to fly after hatching in about 7-9 days.

Sound like they're in the bird equivalent of being teenagers.
