Leave the birds
alone

THE Asian Koel is a member of the cuckoo order of birds ("It's a
big bird and a nuisance, but it's protected" by Mr Daniel Ng; last
Saturday). I like the calls of these birds, especially early in the
mornings and evenings.
To me, they signify the start and end of a day. It is nature's way
of telling us the order of things.
To live near lush greenery amid such creatures is a blessing. Just
as we, as humans, have a right to life, so too do these beautiful
creatures.
Perhaps Mr Ng should take a moment to understand and explore the
lush surroundings he lives in and appreciate the biodiversity.
I hope the authorities and the public can leave the birds alone and
conserve that piece of lush greenery.
