Thank you everyone for coming down, or contributing in one way or another!
The Strait Times featured the Carnival on Monday (28 July), and TODAY produced an article on the theme underlying the Carnival - read it at http://www.todayonline.com/singapore/humans-always -fault-...

We were greeted with 2 beautiful wild oriental pied hornbills - this time not from a public call! They were sighted this morning near our rescue centre! It is a privilege to be able to see wildlife like them.
Hornbills play an important role in the health of the forest as it disperses seeds that are too big for smaller birds to eat.
The Oriental pied hornbill is critically endangered in the Red list of threatened animals in Singapore. So count yourself lucky if you spot them! Have a good wedn...

So, we got off to a damp start. But spirits were not dampened! A rainbow appeared after the rain. Our bartender has started shaking up his drinks (under the rainbow no less)! Our animal friends are waiting with bated breath for the Animal Kingdom Bouncy Castle to open its doors, and the aroma of food seems to be infecting everyone, even our volunteers! The first ever ACRES Carnival is in motion now! So COME ON DOWN NOW to the Youth Park!!!

Is intolerance to sharing our living space with the wildlife we have animal cruelty? ACRES often receive calls about poison pigeons, or mynahs caught in glue traps. Two of the many examples of acts carried out to get rid of them. Often how one has forgotten that this is their only home too.
"Isn't this our home too?" - an impromptu 'photo compilation' of mynahs caught on camera with really cute reactions!
*PS: No birds were harmed in the making of this short photo compilation :)
