Culling crows in Singapore - just part of the big picture

International news articles have been fascinated with the culling by shooting strategy. However, this is only one aspect of the national strategy to bring crow populations under control.

Another key element is the denial of food sources from littering, unsecured bin centres, slow removal of food waste at hawker centres - all of which have contributed to the management of crow populations as well.

See "Reducing the crow population" (NEA, 2004).
