SINGAPORE – Another of four fledglings by Singapore’s only known pair of peregrine falcons was found dead on April 16.
It is the second chick to have died, following the death of a first fledgling on April 4, said Dr Malcolm Soh, principal researcher at the National Parks Board’s (NParks) wildlife management research branch.
In response to queries from The Straits Times on April 22, Dr Soh said the chick was found dead on the ground in the Central Business District on the morning of April 16, with the cause of death unknown.
The four chicks – the second brood on record from the breeding pair – were residing at OCBC Centre in Chulia Street, where they hatched in late February, before they departed their nest.
