This is how pigeons have broken feet.

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.

She was the fluffiest pigeon I had ever seen.

Posted in Love all wings, tagged , , , , on 14/11/2025|

It was just last week that I removed the string that had been tied tightly around her feet. I could recognise her by her distinct fluffy feathers. She was the only pigeon that looked “round” and “fat” to me. She was easy to catch, and I should have known better that only sick pigeons are easy to catch. She was still eating well then, and I had been seeing her on and off. As she was fluffy, she walked wobbly. This made her look so adorable. I would always say hi to her. I saw her resting at the corner of the void deck last night, and I guess she probably wasn’t feeling well.

She appeared in front of the lift I often take about an hour ago. She looked very unwell. I went home, quickly took a carton box, placed her inside and brought her home. I hoped she could pass on in a quiet place. She passed on shortly. I’ll bury her tonight.

She started pecking after I removed the string and released her.

A cute girl!

I know pigeons are hard to save, but that doesn’t mean we should stop trying. Harming, killing, or hating them won’t solve the problem. As we know, only love can overcome hatred.

I can and will only do my part to love and care for them. Pigeons are gentle and harmless birds. What others choose to do is their business.

Thank you Ms Fluffy!

May the merits accumulated be dedicated to her favourite rebirth.

Cleaning up the pigeons’ poop.

Posted in Love all wings, tagged , , on 22/10/2025|

I decided to take action and clean up the pigeon droppings at my void deck. Someone kind has been leaving two cat food pouches almost every day for the feeders to feed the cats. Since I don’t know when the person leaves them, I’m often not there at the right time to pick them up. If the pouches aren’t collected in time, the clever crows and pigeons will peck holes in them and eat the food. That’s why there are droppings everywhere.

Before cleaning

I would like the residents and visitors to have a place to sit, and I also hope that the pigeons can stay safe in this area.

After feeding the community cats past midnight, when it was quiet, I took out my tools and began scraping away the droppings.

After cleaning
This was done last night and I cleaned it again.

It wasn’t hard to clean. All we need is a lot of kindness and a little effort and we can coexist. However, the authorities prefer the easiest and cheapest way to deal with it, that is to kill.

I’m planning to clean the floor as well. It doesn’t really matter whether what I do can make a difference in preventing the authorities from killing the birds. It’s in their nature to eat and poop, after all. Only those who kill will have to face their karmic consequences, and I truly hope that can be avoided.

Ways to control pigeons population by Geri

Posted in Love all wings, tagged , , , , on 31/05/2025|

Another slideshow done by Geri!

Somehow along the way, we think that birth control may not be a good idea. We believe prolonged use of birth control could bring negative health impact to the birds.

We’ve actually come to agree that the best solution is still co-existence !

10 reasons to stop exposing kids to animal cruelty by Geri.

Posted in Love all wings, tagged , , , , , , on 31/05/2025|

I remember when we first formed a “Sav the pigeons group” last year, we were all enthusiastic! Geri was one of the member, perhaps she still is. I am not in the group anymore but will keep supporting their work. Geri did a wonderful job and she shared with me. I would like to share it here.

For the welfare of the animals, I think we should support one another. We have our own strengths and weaknesses that can be put into good use. To me, everyone’s ideas are equally important and should be taken into consideration. There is no mine and yours. It’s for the animals.

During that time, everyone in the group had been working very hard to fight for the pigeons. They are still fighting…

It’s not only kids who will be traumatised by the event. Anyone at any age can be traumatised by such event!
