Dear Friends,
OVERVIEW
Crow-mageddon in Kallang: Feathered Fiends on the Loose!
We’ve observed a noticeable surge in the crow population across Kallang, and it’s becoming a real cause for concern. When gathered in large numbers, these crows can be quite intimidating, creating an uneasy atmosphere for residents. Beyond their unsettling presence, their impact on health and cleanliness cannot be ignored. These clever scavengers, often spotted feasting on otter droppings, are the same birds that sneak into our hawker centers, picking at leftover food from tray return bowls, and raiding bins, leaving trails of litter in their wake. If left unchecked, the crow problem could spiral further, affecting both public hygiene and the community’s peace of mind.
