After 2 to 3 weeks, cardinal chicks are typically removed from the nest by their parents as they begin to fledge. The adult cardinals will lead them to nearby shrubs or trees, where the young birds can continue to learn to fly and forage for food. During this time, the parents remain close by, providing protection and guidance as the fledglings adapt to their new environment.
