There's (what I suspect to be, at least) a fledgling Great-Tailed Grackle that's been living in the bushes in my backyard for a few days now, maybe a week? I've seen it try to fly several times over the last 4 days, but it never manages to get any higher than the top of the bush. How long should I expect it to take for this guy to get up in the air?

(Details: I suspect there to be a grackle nest in the tree above the bushes based on how noisy they've been, and I am pretty sure I saw a parent feeding this guy yesterday or the day before, though they were behind one of the bushes so I'm not completely certain. I know to leave them alone, I'm just curious!)
