居民10楼单位遭犀鸟霸道硬闯 留下“黄金”处处!

自然生态爱好者、Lepak SG的创办人何翔天,在脸书分享哭笑不得的经历:有犀鸟不请自来,硬闯入他在10楼的组屋单位,整整逗留了1小时半才肯离开,临走还不忘留下“圣诞前夕礼物”— “黄金处处”。

何翔天说,数周前就有犀鸟出现,停在他们的晾衣杆上许久才飞走。何翔天说,当时自己很纳闷,一般犀鸟会逗留在三至五楼的高度,飞到10楼的高度就较罕见。

然而,昨日(17日)约傍晚5时15分,家里却来了一对犀鸟。当时下着雨,窗户都关了,就剩大门开着,第一只犀鸟就由大门飞入家中。

何翔天说,当时他在赶着报告,突然被犀鸟“串门子”当下也呆了片刻,试图厘清眼前这出乎意料、奇妙的景象。不多久,第二只犀鸟又飞进来了。第一只犀鸟先是飞到了书架上,至少逗留了45分钟。

第二只犀鸟则几乎把何翔天整个单位拜访个遍,之后尝试从窗口飞出,不过因窗口关闭而不成功,然后又从大门离开。

至于第一支犀鸟,仍大咧咧矗立书架上俯瞰一切,似乎完全“无视”他们打扰了事主一家。

母亲在尖叫,父亲尝试用竹竿赶走犀鸟,不过基于多年与野生动物何环境方面的经验,何翔天选择向关爱动物研究协会(ACRES)求助,不巧当天ACRES也接到许多求助电话忙不过来。

之后,何翔天把家中窗户、门口全打开,就只是关上了厨房门窗,避免犀鸟闯入进食人类食物。他也关掉了风扇,避免伤及犀鸟。之后就只能等待犀鸟自行离去,何翔天也继续赶未完成的报告。

“约六点当我差不多要提交报告时,又听到尖叫,过后母亲就冷静下来。看来是犀鸟决定要换个地方,飞到了平时充电设备的椅子上,然后开始大便!”

做好“大生意”后,犀鸟还打算到事主家中的储藏室看看;之后又跳到餐桌上逗留了一阵子,才拍拍翅膀,从打开的窗户离开。

客人走了,留下礼物

“不请自来的客人走了,但给我们留下了礼物! 到处都是鸟粪。 没有别的说法,就是到处都是鸟粪。”

何翔天苦笑,一家人花了整晚的时间打扫房间,但还是能在客厅闻到阵阵屎味。

至于为何犀鸟会来到他家逗留?何翔天坦言自己也不知,但母亲分享,单位附近有一片树林被清除,相信是准备兴建新的预购组屋。“人类拿走了他们的家园,他们只好占用我们的?”也许鸟类不会这样想,但至少被犀鸟闯入家园的这户人家,会有这样的感受。

Depending on your level of comfort with nature, having hornbills come to your house would be the coolest thing possible…
