I'm an individual living with ornithophobia (fear of birds, most commonly pigeons). It all started from a childhood trauma as well as a recent incident of an aggressive bird dashing in my direction and crashing into me. Living around pigeons has been difficult for me, especially when I have to take detours just to avoid flocks of them, and eating at coffee shops has often been a fearful and uncomfortable experience. Please do something about these pigeons, it need not be eradicating them cruelly, but redirecting them away from residential areas.

I think I need to stop my step grandmother from feeding these pigeons with rice

CNA produce such singapore good documentaries. Really like them. from social issues to.. pigeon. Love it, carry on the good work team!

The spikes reminded me of the gates of Tampines JC. It was put up to stop people from climbing in to use their running tracks in the old days

Huge population of pigeons leave a lot of droppings everywhere and it is a serious hygiene issue. I think everyone can make an effort by putting away the cutlery and throwing leftover food. Most importantly, stop feeding them.

There are people feeding pigeons all over the place with impunity. Until a few offenders are fined heavily, and an example made of them, there will be no end to this problem.

But it is not the responsibility of the common people to tell off pigeons feeders. We know how grouchy these people are and may beat you up. It is the same with errant smokers. Where are the enforcement officers? There are not enough enforcement officers. We need them to do their job until 12 midnight.

This vdo is worth watching.

They are the descendants of the WW II heroes. They shouldn’t be treated as nuisance. .. thats unethical.

In the old days, people would nab pigeons as food

Where to buy these pallets

i saw pigeons eating meat in food market . i think they are evolving

Oh new video

Maybe we can try playing recording of Eagle voices on loud speakers to frighten them off.

Where can one get the sleeping pellets for pigeons?

Honestly if we wanted to control the pigeon population we should look into encouraging raptors/birds-of-prey that prey on them to nest and breed in Singapore, in particular falcons. Peregrine Falcons are known to prey on pigeons, and while they have been spotted here they are not resident breeders as of yet. Perhaps constructing nestboxes for falcons on the roofs of tall buildings (like HDB blocks), which falcons could also use as a hunting perch, and having a programme to encourage them to breed and prey on pigeons, could be more ideal than just simply culling pigeons wholesale.

Use falcons or other big birds of prey

Yo Auntie (5:21) - bring them to a place and just leave them and let them be? Can, your home is located where ah?

Should find way to make all those pigeons infertile. No need to do mass killing, but don't let them breed either.

They can't solve the problem will blame elderly feeding them.How many elderly feeding birds ,where they are having problems feeding themselves.

Set up Hawker stalls that specialise in Pigeon soups.

I have an idea for a pigeon trap - build a narrow tower where the top floor has just pillars (like a bell tower) and a machine will spread crumbs on the floor. Once enough pigeons land on the floor, 4 thin metal walls will come down and create a cage that will go down to the bottom floor of the tower and then the metal walls will go up again to hide above the top floor's ceiling and a new floor will come down from the ceiling with new crumbs.

The loft idea is the best. Should not have been left to the end of the report, but featured.

What about falcons?

Serving them as a food on the table might be a solution, just a suggestion hahah.

Not bad. CNA took the trouble to 3D print pigeon chess pieces...

how about mynah problems?

我记的以前，新加坡没那么多鸽子，是不知道从什么时候开始，有人开始学法国人喂养鸽子，我记得报章也有报导，当时，每个人都是以，好像在法国那样可以喂养鸽子而感到开心不已，但现在，就是那些人四处喂养而搞成这样，好恶心啊。

Why don’t just use them as Singpost mail delivery?

Why not introduce more Peregrine Falcon to the area?

Life Is Life

general tso's 5 step 2 star pigeon

Try solving the problems in HDB high-rise windows , aircon spaces that hibernate their eggs .... not just showing some solutions for condos or landed property or food outlets only . Just look at the design of our HDB buildings , you don't need to feed them , for them to come uninvited .... its a wonderful love nest for all pigeons . It's also a nightmare with complimentary poops , dirty nest and half dead baby pigeons every month !!! This program did not come close to showing the actual headaches that we faced with these birds daily . Sad but true . You could have done far more to show the real issues . Otherwise I don't see a point to this , especially blaming food waste as a main culprit . I am not even living in those high pigeons' population areas and my little HDB aircon balcony is already fully covered with unsightly net and spikes that we improvised .Thats how bad the situation is for me & our neighbours to take these drastic steps . oh I forgot to mention the dirty poops all over our ledges that can only be repainted every few years by the town council .

Well my cat killed around 6 pigeons this year so maybe the solution is to leave cats alone?

Pigeons are cute

Name is "Singapura" but there's no cats??? Chasing pest (gecko, rodent, cat, cockroach) is what cat do everyday, they enjoy the game.

Start hunting them down and eating them. :D

We can start catching them and cook them for meat. Roasted pigeon can be a delicacy.

Totally unimpressive methods

l love pigeon

Is it really such a big problem i go out everyday eat also got bird but they dont bother me just leave them be

I rather keep the small sparrows than mynahs & pigeons ya.

NEA, Why not you guys sterilised the pigeons and reduce their numbers or just net these birds as they posed health risks

Haze. Unsolved. Pigeons, unsolved. Flats lease expiry and depreciation. Price hikes all over. FT. I think VTO

The solution is eat it

I have an idea, ask nea to develop a type of anti fertility food for the pigeons.

Introduce an apex bird predator.

Hi

Just open a roasted pigeon stall and give it for free..problem solved!

Poisoning them is stupid just find a predator for them

ppl who feed pigeons in HDB, tend to throw stale bread out of their windows. so its harder to catch them in act.

Just make the tap water turn pigeons gay, Alex Jones agrees

the current haze has already control this issue

Pigeon satay! That's mine answer to the problem!

No chicken, eat pigeons😀😀

Pinoy kapampangan: (cook them) adobong maparas ampo malangi.

Kalau di Indonesia, habis tuh jadi pecel burung dara 🍗 😃

i have a pigeon phobia why am i watching this

Timid Bird

how to solve this problem: Ensure people clear their trays / air condition the place to reduce pigeon population

Those spikes aren't effective. They can perch on a tree or the roof.

Those animal rights activists that call pigeon control works cruel should care about other animals instead. There has been overpopulation of pigeons. No choice. If you care about these birds, raise one yourself at home.

If they are willing to kill pigeons why not kill rats and roaches as well. I don't see the PETA doing anything about the rats or the roaches running around food.

2:50 Birds can be very smart, just look at corvids.

Steriilize them?

Why not eat them like we do to chickens? People can eat worms, insects, etc., so what is stopping pigeons from becoming another delicacy?

And no one is gonna talk about How cute Pigeons are depending on their colour... How Pigeons help to clean the floor (oh wait they shit everywhere nvm) 17:12 Pigeon being addicted to Chlorine

Let people use air gun lah

ive had pigeon in jb before, tastes better than chicken. just grab them and sell them in the market lol

*They are hungry sial*

I went to Egypte and the people eat them . It is the solution 😂😂

Göyerçinin düşmeni pişik ve Şahindi Mence pişik ,ve şahinle göyerçinlerin. Saylarına nezaret ede bilersiz

gene drives!!

Just make some delicious recipes using pigeon meat, you will soon see them reduced in big numbers.

Pigeon is a good meat. Why not catch and cook? Free food la

pigeon soup is quite tasty

Singaporeans should learn from the chinese in mainland China on how to get rid of pigeons.

Why not add a predator?

gene drives.

ppl who think killing pigeons is bad, should live in a room with 100 of them, among their droppings and such, and they will change their mind.

Dont kill them I hate Cna

EXPORT THEM TO INDONESIA AS A FOODBIRD ! THAS A SOLUTION !

If these pigeons was in Indonesia, they'll be gone in a week, pigeons is delicious

Pigeons are living things.THEY HAVE A LIFE. Why does ppl not care about animal abuse??

“All the world seems in tune On a spring afternoon When we're poisoning pigeons in the park Every Sunday you'll see My sweetheart and me As we poison the pigeons in the park” - Tom Lehrer, “Poisoning Pigeons in the Park”

Flying rats! Start giving away free BB guns and catch your dinner!

Should take out the Crow as well. Now you hardly see sparrow. The Crow eat them all.

Every living things got their rights to live in this world ,u do not have the rights to kill it unless is cockroaches and mosquitoes

Why not just capture them and sell them to restaurants for deep-fried pigeon?

Start pigeon soup stalls at those hawker centres. Make them so good (3 Michelin Stars) and we would solve the problem. Soon we wish there are more pigeons around :)

War Machine: if we can go back in time, why don't we just fing the first pigeon and...(hands making the action of strangling)?

this is stupid... the only and simplest solution is to bring Predator birds aka Hawks/Falcons

Why not install speakers on the ceiling that play ultrasonic sounds blast into the sky above human head level at the entrance of retail stores, food courts and malls? Why not install an electronic life size lifelike fake eagle or owl that rotates head and eyes, auto expand and retract wings and makes sound or ultrasonic sounds that moves to and fro the entrance (upper ceiling part) of the food court or retail store via a pulley system (frame it as an amusement park toy to customer, may increase business from kids and families too) As the electronic owl is high up, there are less risks for tampering, at night, close the shutter or a box where the owl can go in to park and the box door auto lock via remote control to reduce theft? Start a trial on a few hawker centres to reduce the food sources for the pigeons. (Reference: www.worldbirds.org/how-to-get-rid-of-pigeons/) Please feedback to management.
