I usually don’t get up early in the morning. However, I was thinking of Tigger, the ginger cat at Whampoa. He had not stepped out of his recently made shelter for the past three nights, and I thought he might be in trouble.

The little shelter is covered with cloth, and I can only see his tiny paws. The place he sleeps is right in front of someone’s corridor. The owner of the flat hardly opens the door at the hour when I am feeding the cats. Last night, the door was opened, and Tigger was hardly moving in his shelter. I was worried he could be unwell or chained. I woke up immediately, took a quick shower, and cycled over to check on him.

There he is! Safe and sound!

I’ll make sure I flip the cloth every night to check on him.

Before I cycled to Whampoa, I saw a fledgling lying helplessly on the cover of the drain. I picked her up and placed her somewhere safe, promising to help her once I was done with Tigger.

When I returned, the fledgling had moved away from its original location. I saw a white cloth, a cup of water, and a half-empty water bottle lying there. I believe they came from the funeral wake nearby. It’s good to know that people care.

I tucked the fledgling in the cat carrier and contacted ACRES. I’m glad that ACRES was willing to take over.

I believe she is weak, which is why the way she rested looked a little awkward.

Securing her in a box.

I dropped her off at ACRES at noon. I hope all goes well for her!

A busy morning for a good cause!

It is not only the pigeons have broken feet, the mynahs as well. I believe many birds in the wild suffer the same fate.

The photo below shows how human hair coiled around the pigeon’s foot and it was already broken but still hanging on by the hair.

I couldn’t catch her and I didn’t see her again.

The mynah has lost her feet.

These birds are gentle and harmless. There is really no need to cause harm to them. Since there are ways to handle them humanely, always make a wise and compassionate choice. Killing is never necessary.

It is already not easy for humans to thrive, let alone animals. If we can’t help them, at least don’t hurt them! Always choose to be kind. Let’s learn to coexist with one another.

I’ve personally witnessed a packet of hot and spicy rice being thrown down from the flat where I live. Pigeons flocked and finished it clean, but why were the pigeons eating food that wasn’t meant for them? My answer to the question is that there is not enough or even no food for them. And why would pigeons wait and fight for a small amount of bread? Some say it’s for convenience. Seriously? For that small piece of bread? With that little bread, many pigeons may not have food to eat for the rest of the day and even the next few days.

I’ve also witnessed a fledgling feeding on dust and tiny stones on the ground. Our authorities need to check their conscience before they repeatedly put the blame on the feeders and brainwash people into believing that the feeders are the killers.
