Mynahs and crows reign over pocket courtyard, posing health threat


Even washing this picnic table at the Pulau Tikus pocket courtyard won’t get rid of the unsightly damage left behind by bird droppings.

BIRDS do purposely poop on us. When they see us pass beneath them, they will eject a wet blob that will land on our head and shoulders.

It is not that birds are wicked. This pooping is the defence mechanism of many birds when perceived predators are too close to their nesting spots.
