Furthermore, what time of year do birds mate?
Spring is the typical mating season for most bird species. At that time food sources are increasing, melting snows and spring rains provide plenty of water and there will be a long, temperate season for birds to mature before winter arrives.
Simply so, how many times do birds lay eggs in a season?
Spring is the start of the breeding season for most of our North American birds. They pair up with mates, build nests, lay eggs, raise young, and then some of them repeat the cycle — as many as three times. There are some things that you can do to assist your backyard birds at this busy time of year.
Most birds nest only once per year, but some species, like the American Robin, can have up to 4 or 5 nests during a single breeding season. The first year is the toughest; in nearly all bird species, more than half of the first year birds perish.
