When it's time for a baby bird to venture out into the wide world, most know it and take off to explore the skies. Those that don't are eventually pushed out of the nest by the mother, forced to embrace life whether they like it or not. It turns out that the birds that fly on their own often end up much better off than the ones that wait until they're kicked out. This doesn't just apply to birds, but to people too. I mean, I'm a great example myself. I waited to leave home, and look where I am now.
