SINGAPORE — They crow at ungodly hours, leave their droppings everywhere and are getting on the nerves of residents here — wild chickens are becoming an increasingly common sight in many neighbourhoods across the island.
Residents say they are concerned about the noise from crowing roosters, unhygienic droppings and how the birds clog up the road. One Kembangan resident, who wanted to be known only as Ms Ana, said the chickens are a hazard on narrow roads in her estate. Pasir Ris resident Nuryati Arif, a 35-year-old beautician, said: "Even though the chickens and roosters mind their own business and are not violent, there is hygiene risk they pose to younger ones whose immune systems are not strong."
He added that NParks will also work with grassroots organisations to come up with the best practices to manage the chicken population, such as advising residents against feeding them, and sharing information to reduce roosting sites.
