The other day, a video circulated on social media. In the video, a Chinese woman was scared and cried by pigeons at a hawker centre in Singapore, saying that she would never come to Singapore again.
To put it simply, she does not recommend tourists to come to Singapore. There are many pigeons in the food court here, and it is also described as a large pigeon breeding base. Finally she said he was a phonosaur person, so she wouldn't go on safari and Singapore.
In addition, she also posted another post to clarify that she did not discredit Singapore, which is a beautiful city. However, she does not advise people who are afraid of birds to visit Singapore, and she also advises that it is best to do your homework first.
Half of netizens understand
Half of the netizens complained
Some netizens said that people with bird mobia will be scared when they see birds and animals such as ostriches and peacocks. She said that now she is used to eating at the food court and there are birds flying around, but she does not go to the bird park because there are bigger birds there.
Some netizens empathized and said that when I was a child, I was often laughed at by others and pretended to be afraid of birds.
The local netizen said that in addition to the food court, there are also pigeons on Orchard Road and downstairs of HDB flats. It seems that I can only coexist with pigeons...
But some netizens scolded her that the title she posted would make people living in Singapore feel uncomfortable.
The netizen directly asked if there are no birds in China? The Chinese woman later clarified that there are birds in China, but there are not many of them, and there are no birds on the road or in the places where they eat.
This netizen corrected her and said that she should not say "I never want to come to Singapore again" at the beginning, and do not mislead people to go to Singapore, they will misunderstand.
It is common to see pigeons in Singapore's food courts, and Brother Yan once dropped bird droppings on his arm during a meal at the food court. The meal was disturbed by birds, and netizens reported to the government in 2022 that the authorities must find a sustainable solution. At that time, the Environment Bureau replied that the City Council would install anti-bird nets and anti-bird stainless steel nylon wires in some food courts.
In addition, the authorities work with municipal councils, hawker associations, stall owners and cleaning contractors to properly manage waste (including food scraps). As early as September 2021, the government began to implement the return of cutlery and trays by diners after dining at the food court. From June 1, 2023, the government has stepped up enforcement actions and will impose tougher sanctions on those who do not return cutlery and trays.
These animals can be found everywhere in Singapore
It is believed that "there are birds in the food court" is neither strange nor uncommon to those who live in Singapore. The birds that can be seen everywhere in HDB flats in Singapore are also protected animals in China. As long as they are not scared and intimidated, they will not attack people indiscriminately.
As for the monkeys, pheasants, etc., they are already strange. Not long ago, some netizens also saw Malayan tapirs in Punggol.
Before, a large python appeared at the Woodlands Pass.
In addition to snakes, monitor lizards may also be seen.
Giant crocodiles may also be seen in the Singapore River.
It can only be said that Singapore's ecology is so good! What wild animals have you seen in Singapore, share them in the comment area~
