SPCA rescues a mynah from canal’s waters

We were alerted, at 5pm today (July 7, 2014), to a mynah spotted struggling in the running waters of a canal along Airport Road.

Our rescue pair, upon arriving at the scene, promptly used a netted catchpole, along with some strategy, to try to haul the bird out of its predicament. Apart from appearing to be shaken by the experience, the mynah is unable to flap its wings for the time being.

Our rescue van is in the midst of taking the mynah to the relevant veterinarians for avians, at the current time of posting. Hopefully it would be able to take to the skies again.

We also thank Mr Justin, our informer, for alerting us to the bird in distress.

Members of the public can, likewise, help us to help any distressed, injured and/or sick animal, by calling our 24-hour emergency hotline at 62875355 extension 9. Clear emergency cases would be given top priority. Do also refer to this page from our website, on how you can help: http://www.spca.org.sg/services_animal_rescue.asp
