  Comments:
in English birds that show the described beaviour are called precocial or nidifugous bird.
I am not aware if there is a noun describing their action of leaving the nest in the English language.
German for example knows it as 'Nestflucht'

As for the third meaning in the reference link, I have never encountered that meaning and was unable to translate it whithout needing several lines, thus omitting it.
