Cockerels filmed in dramatic road chase narrowly avoid car on Shunfu Road
Two cockerels were filmed chasing each other across a busy Singapore road, narrowly avoiding an oncoming car. The incident has drawn attention online amid a reported rise in wild fowl sightings in residential areas.
- Two cockerels were filmed chasing each other along Shunfu Road on 18 April 2026.
- One bird narrowly avoided being hit by a passing car during the pursuit.
- Reports of wild fowl sightings in Singapore have risen in recent years.
Two cockerels were filmed chasing each other along Shunfu Road in Singapore at around 6.15pm on Saturday, 18 April 2026, narrowly avoiding a passing car, according to a Facebook post caption describing the incident.
The footage, shared in the Facebook group Singapore Wildlife Sightings, captured what the post described as “cockerels chasing each other along Shunfu Road @ about 6.15pm”.
The video shows two brightly coloured birds running across the road in pursuit of one another, resembling a high-speed chase. As they entered traffic, a car approached from the right side of the frame.
The leading cockerel managed to leap over the central road divider, while the second narrowly avoided the vehicle by abruptly turning back at the last moment, escaping from under the car’s wheels.
After the car passed, the second cockerel attempted to cross again in pursuit. This time, it paused at the road divider, appearing to wait for traffic to clear before continuing across.
The pair were later seen continuing their chase and scuffle on the road, as bystanders reacted with audible gasps and laughter. A child in the video can be heard exclaiming, “Oh my God!”
In recent years, sightings of wild fowl in Singapore have increased, with birds frequently appearing in public housing estates and parks, and occasionally venturing onto roads.
According to 8world News, the National Parks Board received an average of about 1,500 feedback reports annually related to wild fowl between 2021 and 2024. Authorities have urged the public not to feed the animals in an effort to curb their population growth.
