Witness: the Cardinal adolescents who feed daily with their parents watching from trees nearby.
Even a week ago, their daddy fed the kids now and again. Now they are learning to navigate the feeder themselves.
Soon they will be booted out of the nest, and I mean booted.
I learned years ago that cardinals will stay with their parents as long as possible. In fact, they'd live with their parents forever if they could. 
Not unlike adolescents.
