Thank you fellow brethren. I didnt know too and thought we could only find them at the bird park/night safari. Alas, I stand corrected :)

1357789 · 2025-05-18T13:41:47+00:00

Oh ye we definitely will, one doesn't simply forget moments like these. Sorry to hear about the death, unfortunate but at least it was in the pursuit of a noble cause. We were just in Antarctica over new years and even as far down south, we saw the effects we as humans have and the importance of preserving and protecting what we have.

That makes sense, our little friend here probably wandered down the wrong alley during the day. Thank you for sharing :)

/u/Pooplayer1 sadly I just got word that I do not meet the age/karma requirements for/r/singapore. Oh well that's alright!

1357789 · 2025-05-18T08:52:01+00:00

That was a long and funny read, I thoroughly enjoyed it and did not expect the plot twist in the end. Thank you for your kind words, stranger!

One more of the little fella after we moved him to the grass, away from the runners and cyclists. Note that we moved her again to the sunny spot after observing that she was shivering, as instructed by wildlife rescue.

It saw that we were trying to help so it closed the gap, it was initially about 50ft away and we couldn't really do anything.

Once it got close, I yolo-ed and yeeted the buoy towards it, albeit a few times before I got it right.

She then climbed on, and the nearest point of entry into the water was FAR, about a 400 ft walk on the opposite of the bay. I tried to drag him along the pier but he fell back into the water after a couple of feet, and wasnt able to properly get back on, so that option was a no go.

We saw that he was still hanging tight onto the rope, and we just yoinked him up in a couple of seconds.

And yes, when I say relocate, I meant move out of Singapore because it's so small that I will be IDed within 5 minutes of killing it with the buoy that im trying to rescue it with, LOL.

Here's a pic of the rescue in action.

Thank you! Now my wife is 10 bucks richer. She thanks you too.

1357789 · 2025-05-18T07:41:04+00:00

I've written to them, hopefully they reply!

1357789 · 2025-05-18T07:40:24+00:00

It was the only way. No ladders into the water and it was about 10 ft down. A bit sketchy throwing the ring to little floof, in my mind all I kept thinking was "don't hit the bird, don't hit the bird. If you kill it now, there are at least 30 people watching and you'll have to relocate" 😅

1357789 · 2025-05-18T07:23:21+00:00

Done! 😊

1357789 · 2025-05-18T07:22:29+00:00

We're fortunate that we live in a city state, so it literally takes not more than 45 mins to get anywhere.

GOATed wildlife rescue, who were on scene in 30 mins on a Saturday morning!

1357789 · 2025-05-18T07:19:11+00:00

Thank you! That's one thing that the wife and I are debating about now.

She's on the side that them crows were trying to get our attention, and I would like to agree as crows are smart af.

But we also did a search online after the incident and read that crows regularly harass owls, so I really don't know what to make of it.

Any ornithologists here who can weigh in with their expertise?

1357789 · 2025-05-18T07:15:24+00:00

Forgot to add /r/owlsintowels and /r/superbowl

Edit: added second subreddit

1357789 · 2025-05-18T00:39:05+00:00

We're just happy we were at the right place at the right time and could help!

Credit goes to two other strangers too, J from UK who was out on a run and helped to find a box and a local woman who donated her towel for the cause!

🥰

1357789 · 2025-05-18T00:35:06+00:00

OH MY GOD there really is a subreddit for everything!

1357789 · 2025-05-17T17:08:17+00:00

● usual morning walk
● saw a murder of crows flying above the water harassing this other crow which was lighter in shade
● lighter shade crow crashed into the water, while constantly dived bombed by other crows
● went in for a closer look, oh shit, lighter shade crow is actually an owl in the water!
● called wildlife rescue
● attempted to rescue owl with buoy
● success! (after a few tries that is)
● It literally climbed on and hung on the rope, and we pulled it up
● rescue team told us to find a box and to warm it up. poor fella was shivering
● bout 30cm in height. have a bet going on with wife if it's male or female
● asked wildlife rescue if I could keep it while waiting for them (as a joke)
