A couple in Bukit Batok had a surprising encounter with nature when they spotted a baby owl sitting atop a car and took care of it until NParks officers arrived to collect the little bird on April 18.
The incident took place at a carpark near Block 213 Bukit Batok Street 21.
Dyah, a marketing manager, told AsiaOne that her husband Fazrin first spotted the owlet from a distance perched atop a car at around 11.55am.
He quickly contacted Dyah and asked her to report the incident to NParks.
Dyah, who was home at the time, hurried downstairs to check on the owlet as she was “worried it might get injured or dehydrated”. She carefully approached the bird and contacted NParks through their hotline.
An officer asked if she could send photos of the owlet and place the raptor in a box or safe container.
