After a day-long detour and health check-up, one of the three remaining peregrine falcon chicks that made a recess in OCBC Centre their home took flight once more on Wednesday (April 8), according to the National Parks Board (NParks).
The fledgling, tagged as “G00” by NParks via a green tag around its leg, was found by the public at South Bridge Road a day prior.
NParks shared with the media that falcon G00 was found on Tuesday evening and promptly picked up by NParks contractors who then brought it to the Centre for Wildlife Rehabilitation.
The bird was responsive to food, which is “always a good sign”, said Dr Malcom Soh, the principal researcher for Wildlife Management Research at NParks.
“Just this morning, when they checked it, it was still active and doing well,” Dr Soh told the media on Wednesday.
“That’s why we’re able to release it today.”
