An alleged bird-napping attempt was thwarted in Bukit Merah thanks to the quick thinking of eagle-eyed photographers. The incident unfolded on Oct 21, when a fledgling red-breasted parakeet took a tumble from its nest near the famed Bukit Merah parrot family's nesting...
A man who didn't seem to be a bird enthusiast allegedly scooped up the grounded fledgling and attempted to make off with it.
While the fallen bird might seem like an easy target, its plight was noticed by photographers, including Mr Alex Han, who had been observing the feathered family. Undeterred, the photographers stood their ground. Mr Sean Chua, another photographer present at the scene, added that warnings of potential fines were issued to the man.
One of the staff was heard saying to the bird:"You're OK now. Don't worry, you will be reunited with your brother and sister, and your mummy and daddy will feed you tomorrow morning." In an official statement to Mothership, ACRES co-CEO Mr Kalai Vanan clarified that the fledgling wasn't removed from the area.
