The female incubates the eggs, which hatch after 13 to 16 days. The young cannot care for themselves upon hatching. The female broods the chicks for up to seven days after hatching. Fledglings then leave the nest 15 to 20 days after hatching. [11] Juvenile (left) with parent Eastern bluebird at nesting box Eastern bluebird in Quebec, Canada

Altricial birds are less able to contribute nutrients in the pre-natal stage; their eggs are smaller and their young are still in need of much attention ...
These eggs are incubated by the female, [14] usually after the second-to-last egg is laid, [54] for 11 to 20 days, [53] although most hatch after 14 to 15 days. About 88% of nests produce at least one nestling, but this can be lowered by poor weather and a younger breeding female. [14] The eggs generally hatch in the order they were laid.
Fish generally do not incubate their eggs. However, some species mouthbrood their eggs, not eating until they hatch. Some amphibians brood their eggs. The female salamander Ensatina (Ensatina eschscholtzii) curls around the clutch of eggs and massages individual eggs with her pulsating throat. [14] Some aquatic frogs such as the Surinam toad ...
Mountain Bluebird is a U.S.-Canada Stewardship species, and is not on the 2014 State of the Birds Watch List. These bluebirds benefited from the westward spread of logging and grazing in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when the clearing of forest created open habitat for foraging.
