SINGAPORE — Mandai Wildlife Group said on Sunday (June 11) that its staff rendered first aid to a girl who was bitten by a cockatoo during an outing with her family at Bird Paradise, and that it is in contact with them.
In a Facebook post on Saturday, Ms Serene Chen said she was at Bird Paradise with her husband and 13-year-old daughter on Friday when the incident occurred.
In response to CNA's queries, a spokesperson for Mandai Wildlife Group said its staff provided first aid and cleaned the wound, before the girl left the park to seek medical attention. The spokesperson advised guests 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.
"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."
