A resident's video captured a massive congregation of pigeons at a Singapore HDB flat, reigniting debate over illegal feeding and unsanitary conditions. Netizens shared experiences of aggressive birds and ineffective enforcement, highlighting ongoing challenges despite strict wildlife protection laws.
Singapore residents are facing increasing issues with large flocks of birds, particularly pigeons, gathering at Housing and Development Board ( HDB ) flats. One resident captured on video an unusually large number of birds settled at a flat, noting that more birds flew away when they stopped filming.
The resident reported the incident to authorities and urged others to do the same. Netizens expressed concerns about sanitation and safety, with some noting that pigeons have become less fearful of humans and even attacked pets. Others speculated that the flat's owner might be feeding the birds, calling the behavior thoughtless. Several comments highlighted that previous reports to authorities resulted in only promises that were quickly broken.
Under Singapore's Wildlife Act, pigeons are classified as wild animals, making it illegal to feed them in public spaces. Offenders can face fines or imprisonment. In a related case, a 67-year-old woman was charged with four counts of feeding pigeons without permission in Yishun HDB estates. Separately, other unrelated posts about a food delivery rider accused of vandalism to prove delivery and a regulatory notice about halal signs were noted but are not part of the main bird nuisance issue
