Will a mistle thrush male continue to feed fledglings when female killed?

Yes, male mistle thrushes will continue to feed fledglings even if their female partner is killed. Typically, in a mistle thrush pair, both parents engage in nest-building, incubation of eggs, and feeding the young. However, if the female dies or disappears during the breeding season, the male mistle thrush may assume sole responsibility for caring for the young. He will continue to provide food, warmth, and protection until the fledglings are able to fend for themselves.
