Does the adult bird kick the fledgling out of the nest?

In many bird species, adult birds do not physically kick fledglings out of the nest; rather, they encourage them to leave by reducing food provisioning and allowing them to explore their surroundings. This behavior helps the fledglings gain independence and learn to find food on their own. In some cases, fledglings may leave the nest voluntarily when they are ready to fly. However, the process can vary significantly among different species.
