SINGAPORE — A man who was previously fined by the court for feeding pigeons was again caught for a similar offence.
He threw slices of bread on the pavement and grass verge, and despite being told that it is an offence to feed wildlife without written approval, the man continued to do so on 15 other occasions.
The court heard that enforcement officers spotted Rajandran in the vicinity of Aljunied Crescent on the morning of Aug 26, 2022.The officers told him that it was an offence, but he continued to feed birds on another 15 occasions, with the last being in December 2022. The court heard that Rajandran was fined S$450 in February 2018 for flouting the Animals and Birds Rules. In January 2020, he was fined another S$500 for feeding stray pigeons.
In a letter that was published in March this year in response to a letter in Lianhe Zaobao, the National Environment Agency and NParks said that rock pigeons are not native to Singapore but are an invasive species that compete with the native species. This involves the removal of human food sources, habitat modification, population management and studies to understand the ecology of the pest birds such as their roosting and foraging patterns.
