Every step taken on the overhead bridge approaching Block 154 Serangoon North Ave 1 is a step closer to an orchestra of twitters, chirps, squawks and caws that gradually rises over the din of traffic humming beneath. It is the entrancing sound of parrots – lovebirds, conures, caiques, cockatoos and macaws – with feathers in all hues of the rainbow. Ask nicely and some will even speak to you. The scene forms around a pet bird shop that attracts a hobbyist community every Sunday. They bring their prized feathered pets and place them on perches under the sun while they socialise with like-minded bird fanciers. The myhomeSG video series by ST's photojournalists looks into their connection to places that hold a special meaning to them.
