Last month, a trial to step up pigeon culling and other control efforts at three estates was announced. Depot Road, which is located in Telok Blangah, is not part of the pilot.
Pigeon droppings splattered on an air-conditioner ledge and along the building wall at 103A Depot Road. SINGAPORE: When Mr Al and Ms El moved into their flat at 103A Depot Road in 2020, they did not expect that their first home together would have unwanted guests.
Their attempts to prevent the pigeons from roosting or nesting on their air-conditioner ledge – such as installing spikes and cleaning the area with vinegar – have done little to deter the birds. Bird droppings and feathers seen on ledges of almost every floor at 103A Depot Road. While residents CNA spoke to acknowledged the efforts of the town council, they called for more concrete actions to address the seriousness of the pigeon problem.
Mr Tommy Quek, who has been living at 103A since 2007, said he had complained to the town council before finally taking matters into his own hands and installing a net to cover his air-conditioner ledge last year. Under the six-month initiative, three town council estates with large clusters of pigeons – Ang Mo Kio, Bishan-Toa Payoh and Tanjong Pagar – will step up the culling of the birds.
