One of the latest brawls was caught on camera at a void deck in Ang Mo Kio, although it didn’t comprise enraged men in front of a nightclub or international school students holding a boxing match.
Following the country’s easing of Covid-19 restrictions, incidents of fistfights have circulated online. It appears that other creatures have also been watching. A case of fowl play was featured on Facebook page ROADS.sg on Wednesday (May 18), showing a “gang clash at AMK void deck,” as written in the caption.
It was two versus one, then two versus two, as four mynahs fought it out in the open area, making short jumps and flapping their wings for leverage.
Although the video can’t really be called a brawl, it did elicit multiple witty comments among netizens.
“Brutal. Need to call SSB (Safety and Security for Birds),” said Adnan Daeng, making a play of words for the acronym, which usually refers to Singapore Savings Bonds.
“Lucky only four. If five, consider rioting oredi,” said Facebook user Mohd Khair.
Meanwhile, others wondered if there was some sort of virus travelling around. “Is there some sort of undetectable fighting virus flying around? It seems to be affecting a lot of humans, and now birds too?”
“Humans fight, they also fight,” said a netizen, while another one added, “Must be watching up the trees watching and learning from those uncle fighting around neighbourhood coffee shop. LOL.”
It is unclear if this is similar to when zoo animals in Beijing allegedly followed suit and imitated visitors engaged in a fight.
It’s not every day one could witness Angry Birds in real life. /TISG
