Unregistered “pet care” company staffed by untrained employees led to the death of an autistic child’s pet parrot due to internal injuries SINGAPORE: A woman filed a police report after her child’s p

et parrot, named Gru, died following a grooming session. The bird was allegedly improperly handled during the session, which took place at her executive condominium unit at Lorong 1A Toa Payoh.

Only after Gru’s death did she find out that the pet service company had never been registered. Moreover, its only experience had been in raising parrots. “Gru tried to fly over my head, and his eyes were wet,” Ms Huang said. “He then fell. His wings were drooped, and he was bleeding.” While her other parrot fell from her unit’s 26th-story balcony on the day of Gru’s fateful grooming, it sustained injuries but survived the fall.
