A Human's Cruel Act To A Defenceless Bird

Our 24-hour wildlife rescue hotline received a call for a mynah who was seen dangling from a unit’s laundry pole stand in Yishun. Our rescue officers were shocked to learn from the unit’s resident that the mynah was deliberately hung from the pole to teach the mynah (and other mynahs) a lesson so they can “learn” not to enter her kitchen.

The mynah was assessed for injuries and given some water and food before being released. The resident was informed that this is an act of cruelty and the rescue officers advised other ways to deter birds who are drawn to exposed food.

NParks is currently investigating the case.
