The female lays 7-13 eggs in April or May, which she incubates for 12-16 days. It's hard to believe, but a single brood of young blue **** may eat between 600 and 1,000 caterpillars a day! Both parents feed the hungry chicks, and they fledge (leave the nest) after two or three weeks. You can spot young blue **** because they have yellow cheeks, whereas adult birds have white cheek feathers.
On average only one fledgling will survive to breed again the following year.
Tragic waste of a lot of caterpillars if you ask me.
LOL I love the way Yahoo edits this answer. I never new a small feathery bird could be considered obscene.

Well just say the parents bring back one caterpillar a minute.That's 60 an hour .Just say they start at 6am and finish at 6pm thats 12 times 60.So maybe 720 caterpillars.
