When do mockingbirds learn to fly?
Mockingbird chicks typically learn to fly about two weeks after they hatch. By this time, they have developed enough strength and coordination to leave the nest.

Template to make a robins nesting box?
Actually Robins will nest in boxes but they won't use boxes designed for the Tit family. Use a template for an open fronted nest box & place it somewhere under cover & away from prying eyes (including yours). Robins will abandon their nest if they are disturbed. You need to also make sure that it's also inaccessible to predators such as Jays, Magpies, Cats etc. A regular supply of live mealy worms will also help. Templates for both types of box are here: http://www.bto.org/nnbw/make.htm American robins are not cavity nesters, but the EUROPEAN ONES MAY.

My parakeet won't eat her food - what is the most humane way to destroy her?
Did she just stop eating, or did you just get her? If it is the same food she has always had then there might be a problem. If you have changed her food, that is the problem. A bird learns to eat by watching other birds. That way they don't eat something harmful. A bird will probably not try something new unless you slip it into the food it knows in very small amounts. Eventually, the new food becomes normal.
