I would think so. A lot of “ modern “ birds are precocious, but feathered. Bat- like wings should provide good capability for gliding. Making the connections in the brain tales some tine, though. When I was raising kittens. I was amazed at the speed that they could run. Took ‘em a wjile to not run into things, though.
