Residents of a Housing and Development Board (HDB) block in Serangoon have allegedly resorted to keeping their windows closed and not hanging out their laundry due to a neighbour feeding pigeons over the past eight years.
A video posted on Instagram by a 46-year-old resident surnamed Chia shows a flock of pigeons outside a high-floor unit at Block 302 Serangoon Avenue 2.
The birds could be seen resting on the block’s rooftop, the unit’s clothes drying rack, and even on its window grills.
“There is an entire column of units that couldn’t put out their laundry, or even keep their kitchen windows open,” Chia wrote in his post, adding that some neighbours said the issue had been ongoing for the past eight years.
According to the 46-year-old, an elderly female occupier of the said unit has been attracting pigeons with her feed.
“(It’s) raining bird shit on everything below,” he added.
The video also shows significant bird droppings on the facade wall, clothes drying rack of a lower floor unit, and on the ground floor.
