In my experience with superb parrots from the Molonglo Valley breeding site,
the newly fledged young ones are indeed capable of keeping up with the adults.
However, I cannot comment on the relative speeds of adults with or without
young in tow. (I have not checked the airspeed of an unladen superb parrot … )
Once fledged, there’s not really that much tying them to the breeding site.
There are significant roosting sites around the place, including in North
Watson.
