Both parents feed the young on the nest until they fledge at 8-9 weeks of age. Fledglings may continue to return to the nest site each evening to beg for food from their parents. Young birds reach sexual maturity in their fourth year. Banding records indicate that wild birds can live and reproduce successfully past 30 years of age.

Disabled Birding Resource
- A Disabled Birding Resource
- The birds must come first of course, but that aside a little effort could make many places more accessible than they are. Furthermore, such improved physical access needs to be combined with greater sensitivity by all birders toward those with special needs.
- Disabled Birders Association
- The Disabled Birders Association is a relatively young organization seeking to improve access for people with disabilities to reserves, facilities and services for birding. We have members across the world but the majority live in the UK. There is a separate chapter in the USA.

Travel with Kids to Europe
- Fun things to do in Germany
- Vogelpark Walsrode (Walsrode) - Calling itself the largest bird zoo in the world, you'll find birds and plants from every continent here: storks, penguins, owls, flamingoes, cranes, parrots... With lots of walk-through aviaries, open air exhibits, and a bird cage museum (!) you'd think that would be enough (after all, they suggest scheduling 4 hours to take it in) - but there's also an "Adventure Playground" with separate sections for over and under 10 year olds, including sailing in wooden boats in Congo Land, inflatable trampolines, a ball pool...whew!
- Fun things to do in Spain
- Hike in the Sierra Nevadas with your birding book or plant guide. If your kids are experienced hikers, try climbing the tallest peaks in Spain:
