Singapore's First Peregrine Falcon Chicks Take Flight

Singapore Welcomes its First Peregrine Falcon Chicks Singapore has achieved a significant milestone in wildlife conservation with the successful hatching and fledging of peregrine falcon chicks. This marks the first time this rare bird of prey has bred successfully in the country. The National Parks Board (NParks) announced the news on May 28th, 2025, sharing heartwarming footage of the chicks' development. "The peregrine falcon might be the country’s rarest breeding bird," stated a spokesperson from NParks. The journey to this success began in 2024 when a breeding pair was first spotted nesting at the OCBC Centre. NParks implemented various measures to support the birds' breeding efforts. The video shows the chicks' progress from their first week in April, their growth into fledglings, and their eventual ability to fly. The footage captures heartwarming moments of parental care and the chicks' development. The successful breeding is not only a testament to the conservation efforts but also a symbol of hope for biodiversity in urban environments. NParks has indicated that they will continue to monitor the birds and study their adaptation to Singapore's unique urban landscape. This ongoing research will inform future conservation strategies and ensure the continued survival of this magnificent species in Singapore.
