Birding Singapore

10,000 Birds

In Singapore, Common Redshanks mostly drink Tiger Beer. If you take a feral pigeon, bleach it and then batik it using the right colors, the result might be a Pink-necked Green Pigeon (1). If on the other hand you take a zebra, shrink it and attach wings, the punishment may be similar, but the result will not be a Zebra Dove.
