Singapore to resume crow shooting in late March 2026 to combat rising attacks and protect public safety.
Singapore will resume crow shooting in late March 2026 to address a sharp rise in crow-related incidents, with over 2,000 attacks reported in 2025—more than four times the 2020 total—and complaints increasing from 5,000 to 15,000.
The National Parks Board cites the invasive house crow population as a threat to biodiversity and public safety, particularly during nesting season.
Since shooting halted in 2020 due to safety concerns, NParks intensified non-lethal methods, removing nearly 9,000 nests and trapping over 13,000 crows in 2025.
New safety protocols, including upward-directed shots, secured zones, signage, and on-site personnel, will be enforced.
The move is part of a broader strategy to reduce crow numbers and prevent further aggression.
