Yes, when we have more than one fledgling in the same season they do stay active together in the first weeks they spend in the park before they leave the area for good.

They will often be seen sitting on perches together, playing with found ‘toys’ (turf, tennis balls, etc.) together, play-fighting, and generally following each other around the park and buildings.

I found a few posts showing some of these fun antics. These were fun trips down memory lane for me. 🙂

Hi. It does seem that way with F1 later on in my visit. But I’m not sure if it was F1 or not who was sitting with the other fledgling on the old church tower earlier in my visit. I didn’t get a good look at it. If it wasn’t F1 then that means I saw all three fledglings today. 🙂
