Bird corner trills again

Birdsong returned to the famous Tiong Bahru bird corner at the former Block 53 yesterday after a seven-year silence, when the area underwent redevelopment.

At the finals of a bird-singing competition organised by Link Hotel, merbuk jambuls performed in their cages, under the watchful eye of judge Tang Yew Weng.


In total, 360 birds were entered in the contest. They were judged on their volume and how they displayed themselves in their cages.
