Instead the authorities prioritise private property owners complaining about otters invading theIr private ponds and crowing chickens disturbing their luxury sleep. Since then we hardly see the families of otters and the jungle fowl anymore. HDB dwellers, despite being the overwhelming majority always come last in Singapore.

[@acheeyk]

Hypocrites at its best. He had dark secrets to hide... He is a cat feeders ... Leaving food behind for cats n birds... Guilty at heart.... Dogs killed cats n Human killed birds.... News!!!!! Chicken first or eggg. No cat feeders is to blame. At bedok we had a lot of cat feeders when they feed the crows,pigeons gather in groups within the premise. The moment they leave the food the birds will shared. Cat feeders is the source of the issues now. Cat feeders are very abusive if you approached them. They behave like untouchable n threaten to report to police. I think you know why....mp n minister loved cats in parliament.... I believed they are in animal food business.???

Usually Black Crowes gather in groups. They also have some kind of Tribes. Their arch Foes are the Maynas or Asian Eagles. They don't usually attack humans unless something might have triggered them or their domain. They will take revenged if you threw stones or sticks at them. Because they will remember you.

[@hannah5245]

Some time ago I was walking my dog at the east coast park. A crow hovered around us a while and attacked my dog ! I think this is probably bc there’s no more food to be scavenged in the parks bc very few people are bbqing due to covid, rain. Also in the heartlands they are finding it difficult to get past the netting around food places. And only in the blocks are some residents still throwing breadcrumbs. And maybe even this is being monitored by authorities. The garbage collectors are probably doing a good job too to ensure as little exposure of broken garbage bags as possible! So now these crows are hungry. By the way, I have heard some neighbors complain about them flying into their units from the kitchen window. Don’t leave food uncovered on the countertops!

[@imrannoor4214]

Many of the crows can be traced back to JB Malaysia. We must return all the crows which are literally smugglers back to where they came from. Otherwise Malaysia will again accuse Singapore of stealing their property.

[@icemaneu]

Cull these crows! I prefer birds like sparrows, Mata Puteh, or swallows. Crows are ugly and noisy and they chase away those small birds I mentioned. They are invasive and are a threat to our local small birds.

[@neocortexx]

Crows are beautiful! And they are not the reason birds vanish. Now and then they might eat a baby bird when there`s no other food around. But magpies, beautiful birds of prey and squirrels do the same. Do you want them dead as well or do you just disrespect "ugly" animals? The reason your small birds have no chance is the use of pesticides and the mass death of insects and that nature is being destroyed by humans. You should better thank crows for eating the garbage lying around and the carrions who would be eaten by humans cats and dogs and would spread disease and pandemics among humans. Crows help us to live in a clean environment and protect us from disease.

[@icemaneu]

@@neocortexx If you want to put it that way, well, all animals are beautiful and cute in their own way. Even rats and mice. They are all cute little creatures, so why exterminate them, right? I can go even further and say cockroaches are cute little tiny insects too! So why not let them just multiply in your house?

[@tangt4860]

Crows know how to coexist with humans once they are made to understand the rules but this is not the first time in Sg history that crows have attacked people. Somewhere in the late 90s, many cases were reported in the outlying estates, closer to Malaysia. The main cause is NEA not actively culling their population just like the surge of Cecas and once their numbers swell, they become arrogant and overbearing pests.

[@Jayalen]

Crows can be your best friends or worst enemies depending on how you treat them. They aren't aggressive unless you are near their offspring or you purposely throw rocks at them. They are actually quite skittish and mistrustful to ppl including feeders. On the other hand, crows can recognise ppl who treat them well and ppl who don't. And I have seen crows showing gratitude to ppl who rescued them from injury or harm. They don't get attacked or hurt and the crows would behave properly in front of them

[@Jayalen]

@@haziqrosli7103 if you read the latest news, they attack ppl because the trees where their nests are were pruned. And the trees are near the pavement. Their homes were destroyed. Their offsprings fell to the ground. That's why anyone who walked that pavement gets attacked. They attack ppl out of fear and paranoia. Also, I have taken care of crows before. I know that if you don't disturb their homes or offsprings (that includes walking near them), they won't disturb you.

[@acheeyk]

Crows are not traditional here,my time there is no crows in Singapore.

[@NijiKonohana]

Lol that was what I was thinking, as the only time I've ever seen birds get so aggressive is if they have babies around. When I was on exchange in Sydney a few years ago, my friend and I were attacked by seagulls because their chicks were hatching in this crack along the pavement. Dunno why the heck they had their eggs there (apparently they lay their eggs on the ground, but I don't understand why they picked a place with humans walking about). Anyways, my friend and I just decided to take a longer detour and avoided that path.
