Advice re squab fledgling to the floor of the loft

[LamarshFish]

I am seeking further advice on this same issue. My squab is a bit over a month old now. He is still confined to his nest box, but now moves easily from his nest bowl to the other nest bowl in the box, as well as back and forth between them, and sometimes I even catch him sitting in the other nest bowl on the other side of the nest box. When I hold him, I don't even need to place him back in the nest box, I just hold him within a few feet from it and he has no problem flying to it.

I wonder if I should be the one to physically place him on the floor, or if I should just wait for him to do it himself. Below is a recent picture of him (he is the one in the nest bowl on the right).

Ok, well, I think my squeaker answered the question for me lol. I went home at lunch time and he has fledged his nest box and has taken up his own nest box, which is one of the two unoccupied nest boxes in the loft. I scattered some feed in his nest box just to make sure he has his own to forage from and not get bullied, and right away two other cock birds came to his nest box and started eating his food, but they all ate it together in some degree of harmony (i.e., they shared, although the adult cock birds did steal all the peas lol). The squeaker did audibly protest their presence in his nest box, and strutted his wings about in an apparent display of power, which was nothing short of adorable, so it seems he is fending for himself!

I wonder how he will figure out where the drinker is and how to get himself some water???
