One was seen on a 24/7 live stream taking its maiden flight on April 3.Dr Malcolm Soh, principal researcher at the agency's wildlife management research branch, said two of the three remaining nestlings have also fledged and begun taking test flights.The last chick is expected to follow suit soon.«As the rest of the fledglings continue to embark on test flights, they may accidentally find themselves on the ground,» said Dr Soh.He urged members of the public to contact NParks' Animal Response Centre at 1800-476-1600 if any of the fledglings are seen on the ground.[[nid:730929]] Read more
