Reasons why bird feeding is prohibited in Singapore
Bird droppings transmit germs that can cause serious illnesses in humans. E. coli, Salmonella, Histoplasmosis, and Cryptococcosis are examples of pathogens that induce symptoms such as fever, tiredness, rash, and food poisoning.

“My neighbour (opposite block 219 amk ave 1) has been feeding pigeons from her kitchen window everyday without fail… it’s illegal to feed pigeons in SG right? These pigeons then fly to other’s window and rest and poop“
According to Nparks:
“Do not feed pigeons and please discourage people from feeding pigeons. Feeding pigeons is an offence that carries a fine of up to $500.”
