SINGAPORE – A family’s first trip to Bird Paradise turned sour on Friday morning after a cockatoo from the park bit the ear of a 13-year-old girl, the latest in a string of fowl play at the new attraction.
The 42-year-old said: “Immediately, we ran to save her and I told her not to move. The bird was biting very fast and I used my middle finger to stop it from biting her. Then my husband pushed the bird away.” Responding to queries, a Mandai Wildlife Group spokesman said the cockatoo has been moved to a back-of-house aviary and the animal care team is conditioning the parrots to refrain from perching on people.She said: “Being immersed among birds in the walk-through aviaries, guests are reminded to heed the signs on park etiquette such as not attempting to touch, feed or reach out for the birds whose beaks and claws are sharp and can cause unintended injury.
She said: “Animals are like people who, from time to time, appreciate having their personal safe space, and this should be respected. So, we should keep a safe distance when we are around them.”
