SINGAPORE — A family's first trip to Bird Paradise turned sour on Friday morning after a cockatoo from the park bit the ear of a 13-year-old girl, the latest in a string of fowl play at the new attraction.
The 42-year-old said: "Immediately, we ran to save her and I told her not to move. The bird was biting very fast and I used my middle finger to stop it from biting her. And then my husband pushed the bird away." Large walk-through aviaries at Bird Paradise simulate natural habitats where the birds can fly freely to explore the environment.
Birds are also attracted by shiny and reflective objects such as jewellery, keys and coins, she said, calling for visitors to refrain from leaving such items exposed or unattended where the birds may access them.On May 27, a visitor said on TikTok that a cockatoo had tried to grab her necklace and pearl earring after landing on her shoulder.
