Some wild birds here.

Japanese Sparrowhawk

White-bellied Sea-eagles (immature left, adult right)

White-breasted waterhens (chick left, adult right)

Bumped into a group of "parrot-flyers". They brought their macaws, grey parrots and sun conures out for "flight drills". Amazingly, these birds (or most of them) will fly back to the owners after their drills! I was told some enjoy their freedom so much that they refused to return, but the owners just have to try the next day to get it back, usually with success. So if you happened to see huge parrots flying around in Singapore, this is the reason.

"Parrot-flyers"
