Following a spate of recent attacks by at least two crows outside the Orchard Central mall, the National Parks Board (NParks) continued to remove nests and young birds in the vicinity.
Officers from NParks arrived at about 8.50am, and half an hour later, the crows were at it again, attacking five passers-by who got too close to the tree where they roosted.
All five of them were men, and the attacks prompted the NParks officers to get help from Orchard Central’s staff to set up barriers to cordon off the area.‘A sight to be behold’: Pigeon poo causes $26,000 worth of damage to London flatBarriers to cordon off the area outside Orchard Central were set up and a sign saying “beware of crows” was also put up.

They had been trapped before being euthanised – a departure from the previous practice of culling crows by shooting, which was carried out in 2020 near Block 642 Desker Road following complaints of attacks.
