Birds in the garden?
Question:Just found birds nesting in our garden & we are having a new fence in July will they be gone by then or will I put it off for now. How long will they be there for?
Answers:
From the eggs hatching it takes around 3 weeks before they leave the nest. Then you need to remove the nest so they don't lay a second clutch'
what kind of birds?
Hi
Well it will depend what kind of birds will be nesting at this time of year but must would have flown the nest by July

Until the young have fledged. You don't say what type of birds they are but if there appear to be more than 2 of them and one bird is feeding the other this has already happened. It's not always easy to tell when the young are out of the nest because at that stage they can be of a similar size to their parents. They should be finished with the nest by July, though.
It depends on what type of birds they are. As a general rule of thumb tho, you can pretty much count on the babys still being in the nest in july. Incubation time for the eggs of birds can be up to a few weeks and nesting time another 2 weeks to a month after that. Dont move the nest cause if there are eggs in there, the adult birds will either destroy them or leave them either way you get dead baby birds. I would postpone the fence if you cant build it around them.
I'm not real sure. the ? isn't very plain. I do think if you are having a problem with birds maybe you can feed them a little ways away from the garden and they wont bother the garden.
It depends on the species it could have a second or third brood but most breeding occurs in the springtime so should have flown the coupe by July.
Log onto springwatch and ask this question just to be sure.
