Do n’t other birds pose the same problems?
Singapore is even home to another parrot species- some intrusive- such as mynahs, crows, koels and crazy chickens.
Like pigeons, Javan mynahs- the tiny dark birds with yellowish beaks- can trigger hygiene issues.
In addition to mynahs, inhabitants of the Potong Pasir neighborhood complained about the sounds in 2018. It resulted in the animals being cooped up and killed.
House crows, however, are generally found in cities, cities and industrial settings. Their squawking and accumulated feces can be a nuisance to when they gather and nest close to home areas.
Last year, after several people were attacked by , crows in Bishan, the National Parks Board ( NParks ) removed their nests and trapped and culled the birds.
Another animal that’s hard to miss is the Asian koel- probably better known as the “uwu” birds. However, they are regarded as a local species protected by the Wild Animals and Birds Act, in contrast to the rest.  ,
Koels really help to reduce the number of birds by placing their eggs in their homes and then removing their nests. They can also be problematic with their noisy, monotonous, and high-pitched mating calls.  ,
In order to handle the Asian koel populace, NParks has therefore had to eliminate crow nests.
