Singapore has witnessed an unprecedented rise in crow numbers, increasing more than <strong>20-fold</strong> in less than a decade, reaching <strong>160,000 birds</strong> in 2024. This surge raises concerns about its impact on the local environment.
Authorities in Singapore have announced the start of crow shooting operations in nine cities, beginning in Yishun. This initiative is part of the government's efforts to mitigate the damage caused by these birds in urban areas.
A new study reveals that crows possess exceptional intelligence, enabling them to predict hunting locations, challenging the traditional view of their role as mere companions to wolves. This research re-evaluates the behaviors of these intelligent birds.
