A STOMPer wonders what happened to these birds, which were spotted fighting for their lives at Toa Payoh Lorong 4.
In an MMS to STOMP, the sender suggests that they could be victims of poisoning.
The STOMPer says:
"These pictures were taken at Blk 62 Toa Payoh Lorong 4.
"Three birds were found poisoned and dead.
"The third was in a drain suffering!"

Is this an example of collateral damage? As far as I know, there is no deliberate culling of common myna (Acridotheres tristis) or Javan myna (Acridotheres javanicus). Did these mynas consume poison that was intended for feral pigeons (Columba livia)?
