A photographer in Singapore recently captured high-definition photos of several chickens strutting around Tanjong Pagar.

34-year-old nature guide Tan Yong Lin shared photos of the “charming chickens” on the Singapore Wildlife Sightings Facebook page.

“Strutting around without a care in the world, these free roaming birds add colour to our urban environment, as well as put smiles on the faces of the office workers who spot them during their lunch breaks,” the caption read.
