AMK town council working with NParks, NEA to tackle pigeon problem in Jalan Kayu

Pigeons have invaded yet another neighbourhood here, sullying white walls of Housing Board blocks with their droppings, to the ire of residents in Sengkang.

Responding to queries, an Ang Mo Kio Town Council spokeswoman said on Monday that it is aware of bird feeding activities in the estate and their impact on the environment and health of residents there. A 42-year-old housewife told Shin Min that she spent about $300 around five months ago to install netting to prevent the pigeons from entering her home.

Those who litter can be fined up to $2,000 for a first conviction, $4,000 for a second conviction, and $10,000 for the third and subsequent convictions. The court may also impose a Corrective Work Order, requiring offenders to clean public areas for up to 12 hours. A study conducted in Singapore during the circuit breaker in 2020 found that the population of pigeons islandwide would decline eventually by limiting food resources available to them.
