Hedgehogs and Pigeon on Campus!

by Chew Been Hui

Ng Sher Zhang of Form 5 Science is a lover of strange pets and he states that animals are friends for him. He loves his pets as much as he does to his family members! He keeps different types of pets at home. A few of them are Hedgehogs, Hamster, crab, Rabbit, Pigeon, Fish, and Dog etc. among which the pigeon, dog, rabbit and hedgehog are so close to him as he is the trainer, master, care taker and everything for them since they are very young.

Ng Sher Zhang started hobby of keeping pets at the age of 10 with the help and support of parents. Parents gave him the instructions on keeping pets and they let him not be cruel to any animal. The saddest experience in keeping pet is indeed when they die. The most favourite pet for him is his pigeon. He calls his pigeon  ‘Xiam Min’ and takes along with him where ever he goes, even to the school boarding. It was a strange experience for all students when he brought his Hedgehog and pigeon to school!

As his hobbies are spending time with pets and taking photos of plants, animal and insects, he is always seen with a camera hanging from his shoulders, roaming around the campus. Although he loves others caring his pets he gets angry when others touch them unnecessarily, especially without his permission, because he believes that the animals don’t like being touched by man always.
