SINGAPORE — A woman dressed suspiciously like Mary Poppins is assisting police with investigations after allegedly scattering bird feed along Marina Bay in what authorities described as “a coordinated and prolonged feeding operation.”

The incident triggered an immediate multi-agency response involving the National Environment Agency (NEA), Singapore Police Force, and at least one officer from the Smart Nation Sensor Division.

According to witnesses, the woman calmly opened a small pouch and began distributing crumbs to nearby pigeons while humming softly to herself.

Authorities quickly cordoned off the area using official “NO BIRD FEEDING” tape while forensic teams photographed several slices of bread believed to have been used in the offence.

“Today it’s breadcrumbs,” said NEA Director of Urban Avian Deterrence Gong Jiao Wei. “Tomorrow it could be entire baguettes.”

Gong warned that feeding pigeons disrupts Singapore’s carefully managed ecosystem and may encourage unlawful bird congregation.

“These pigeons begin developing expectations,” he explained. “Soon they are loitering, forming social circles, and in extreme cases, reproducing.”

Investigators confirmed the suspect acted alone, though officers are exploring possible links to an underground network of elderly park-based feeders operating across the island.

At press time, authorities confirmed the woman had been issued a warning and advised to redirect her nurturing instincts toward government-approved wildlife, such as community cats or indoor succulents.
