Yesterday, no birds appeared during my exercise in my usual location. Today, I went to a nearby location as there was another person at my usual location when I went there at around 8.15 am today.
Not expecting any green pigeons as I had 3 days of seeing them in the exercise area.
Surprisingly, I saw three in this new area. This one defends his tree and shooed off a couple who wanted to land on it! See video.

(Feb 5 is 1st day of Chinese New Year)
I saw the male pink necked green pigeon 2 days ago for 2 days. See my blog.
Today, I exercise for around half an hour and went back at around 9.10 am.
"No green pigeons will come today," I walked to my car.
Suddenly this green pigeon appeared on the tree near the car. Bright sunlight. Posed for around 1 minute. I could take a video too!
How to treat an ear abscess in a red-eared slider Toa Payoh Vets, Singapore
Lethargic. Stopped eating.The owner is very worried.
A swelling behind the eye causing pain and loss of appetite. This swelling is a collection of pus inside the ear. It is called an ear abscess.
Some vets prescribe antibiotics. This will not be effective as the pus inside the ear is thick and hard.
What is the treatment? Gas anaesthesia to enable the head to be extended outwards to gain access to the swollen ear.
Four steps are needed:
1. Incise with a scalpel
2. Lance
3. Drain the debris
4. Curette the thick lumps of pus
(Define incise, lance, drain, curette and how is the procedure done)
TIPS
As the pus is not liquid, it needs to be dug out after lancing and draining using a curette
