Fledge can refer to several different concepts and entities across various fields. Below are the primary contexts in which the term "Fledge" is used:

Ornithology[edit | edit source]

In ornithology, fledge refers to the stage in a young bird's life when the feathers and wing muscles are sufficiently developed for flight. This process is crucial for the bird's survival as it transitions from being dependent on its parents to becoming independent.

Fledging Process[edit | edit source]

The fledging process involves several stages:

  • **Hatching**: The bird emerges from the egg.
  • **Nestling**: The bird remains in the nest, growing and developing feathers.
  • **Fledgling**: The bird leaves the nest and begins to fly, though it may still rely on its parents for food and protection.
