<\/div>\n<\/div>\nChing Kai, the original poster of the video, told Stomp on May 10 that he is a resident of Block 302. When asked how he felt about the problem, he said, \u201cI just think it is unfortunate that one person\u2019s doing is grossly affecting the lives of the entire column of fellow dwellers.\u201d<\/p>\n
He clarified that he wasn\u2019t sure if any other residents have engaged the woman directly on the matter, stating that the old woman appears to avoid other residents.<\/p>\n
Ching Kai himself has reported the issue via the OneService app at least twice. \u201cThe first time (the authorities) said they are monitoring with surveillance camera, which indeed had a camera erected across from the block of maisonette units.\u201d<\/p>\n
The situation improved, but only for a brief period of time.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs of this weekend, I noticed the camera has been dismantled,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n
He added that he was not sure which agency handled his feedback, but felt it was \u201cnot just a town council matter\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the words of my neighbours, the pigeons are back again,\u201d bemoaned the resident.<\/p>\n
\u2018Put her on a lower floor\u2019 and other suggestions<\/h2>\n
The reel has amassed 92,700 views, 764 likes and 93 comments on Instagram.<\/p>\n
Commenters roundly criticised the alleged pigeon feeder. More than one commenter suggested that the woman should be made to move to a lower floor.<\/p>\n
\u201cCan take her flat (and) give her level 2 unit instead? Cannot imagine such neighbours living at top floor (and I) can\u2019t hang my laundry out at all\u2026\u201d wrote one commenter.<\/p>\n
Another warned, \u201cSooner or later, the feeder is going to contract some sort of deadly virus.\u201d<\/p>\n
A handful of Instagram users shared ideas on how to manage the problem, including chasing away the birds with air gun pellets and other unconventional methods.<\/p>\n
\u201cUse green laser pointer to chase the birds away… and find a away to reflect sunlight to that kitchen window,\u201d suggested one user.<\/p>\n
\u201cPee into large ziplock. Freeze while flat. Slide piss disc under door in the dead of night,\u201d wrote one commenter.<\/p>\n
Ultimately, Ching Kai said that he preferred to defer to the authorities for action instead of taking matters into his own hands.<\/p>\n
On May 7, authorities announced stiffer penalties for those who repeatedly feed wildlife illegally<\/a>, including a jail term of up to 12 months. First-time offenders will also face higher fines, as the maximum fine doubles from $5,000 to $10,000.<\/p>\nStomp has reached out to Marine Parade-Braddell Heights Town Council for comment.<\/p>\n
