Eagle cam

It takes them 5 years to look like eagles.

How long do they stay around mom and dad.??  When do they start flying.??

They "fledge"...start flying at about 12 weeks.  They will start to jump onto branches and inch away from the nest for a few says.  You will start to see a lot of "wingercize"....a few day before (flapping their wings).  some of them I have seen will some back to the nest after flight for a little while...some have just flown off. Dangerous time for young eagles when they leave...mortality rate can be high
