Not the point of this article, but very amused by SIA's response on whether it will extend its title sponsorship: "We are unable to comment on any confidential discussions that we may or may not be having." 🤫

Fun trivia from the vet: Imping is an ancient procedure that can be traced back centuries. Falconers in the 1200s would use this technique to fix the feathers on their birds-of-prey, as it was important that they could hunt well.

On a personal note, getting a bit paranoid now and worried that my savings will be siphoned off under my nose. Reset all my daily transfer limits to the lowest possible.

[Navene Elangovan @NaveneTODAY]

My colleague did a follow-up to the otter incident. I like this point made by an expert: Our infrastructure is on its way to supporting SG's "City in Nature" tag, but its citizens are not there yet. =(

Not my first "animal attack" story this year, but each story leaves me feeling torn. I understand how aggrieved the injured party must feel, especially when there was no intention to provoke the animal. On the other hand, who are we to dictate where our wildlife shd roam?

Traffic's report found that most birds sold online are by unlicensed sellers. In Singapore, hobbyists can breed birds but *not* sell them without a license. The source of the birds are also dubious, with some FB posts suggesting that they are brought in illegally.
