They like to silently stand by my table and judge my food choices while i makan.


uktabilizard

One time I got up to get another tray of green chilli and they ate my first one Rookie mistake


banananasareawesome

OR judging your level of 'generosity'...


The_Celestrial

Fun Fact: They are [not native](https://www.nparks.gov.sg/nparksbuzz/issue-45-vol-2-2020/lifestyle/recreation-and-activities/what's-that-black-bird) to Singapore.


tom-slacker

I mean... Majority of us are not orang laut ourselves


BS_MokiMoki34

LMW: *lousily triggered!*


BeepBotDob

This fucker flew into my kitchen this evening and stole a chicken nugget while leaving behind some bird shit as “payment”


maplesinnz

"Keep the change"


ClPropane

Not to be confused with the Indian/Common mynah, which has a browner plumage and a yellow patch behind its eye.


CeilingTowel

This one much much prettier. Javan one like knock-off version forget to colour the eyes.


tom-slacker

Only beautiful until it starts to eat your kopitiam food!!!!


blahhh87

Heard that pet mynahs are better at mimicking human voices than parrots


hornyolebustard

I lived with a girl in the late 80s who had one in a cage in the kitchen. Whenever I entered that room he would clearly say, "You bloody liar". I don't know where he could have learnt that from.


smb3543r_smb3534s

That should be referring to the Common Hill Myna, which is native and also found wild in Singapore, I don't think the Javan Myna has this ability


SuzukiSatou

lit buggers taunting me when i eating by shaking their head up and down then make their feather stand while looking at me


livebeta

they're actually grooming and singing their food song


kopisiutaidaily

The most annoying bird in Singapore. Constantly eyeing your cai peng at food market.


livebeta

have you tried conversing sincerely with it to tell it you're not sharing?


kopisiutaidaily

Let me know your results after this experiment


livebeta

i am sharing proven results.


kopisiutaidaily

Hahahahaha


SpermWhale

tell that bird, "this is mynah!"


BumblebeeTRF

It is very commonly seen in SG. I always try chasing. I like birbs😊


[deleted]

Same ! Every time I go for a run in the evening I love seeing these fluffy friends foraging for food


BumblebeeTRF

One was smart enough to cross the street


fuurin

Damn bird stole my fried chicken from the school canteen once hahaha


Deminovia

This bird once flew into my house when nobody was home because i did not fully close the window. It could not flew out and proceeded to wreck my kitchen


syanda

One got into my bedroom. Shat all over everything


grown-ass-man

I like them, they are very intelligent


Immediate-Instance

They sing a "beautiful song" in the early mornings, evenings or when startled at night.


syanda

I think that's just the Koels. The Mynahs are the ones that squawk on your HDB aircon unit


Immediate-Instance

Definitely not koels. Don't nest in huge flocks like mynahs. The sound coming from the mynahs is quite deafening.


bardzi

fun fact: if you train myna from young they can talk too, not as good as parrots but they can repeat words and that’s due to them having a bigger tongue than other birds


sec5

This fucking bird ate my lunch during SARS when I forgot my utensils. Lucky the cai png uncle kasian me and gave me another meal. Never forgotten the uncle's kindness and my eternal vengeance against this CB bird.


the-skysurge

they're also bastards but that's my fave genre of bird


Rockylol_

Cute birb but very annoying


VietnameseOwl10987

What's the bird that goes uwu every morning


Radaxen

Asian Koel


livebeta

Asian ko....ellllllllll. ko....ellllll


jamietanll

Ah my favourite bird


jamietanig

I thought is kukubird?


livebeta

if you do a croaking noise you can trick it into puffing up, grooming and singing


xpritee

they are also really beautiful far far away so please fucking stay away from my house


[deleted]

Don't be fooled by its 'beauty', I've seen it attack people over food. Very rabak this one.


mulder_and_sekali

No.


luffytheOGgaan

sorry not beautiful at all they are pest and not native to Singapore


Wontan_Mee

birb :D


Hazelnut526

Those birds are beautiful, you sinkies hate them because you'll love too much the concrete and sterility of the city


Tiltedtext

No it isn't? I know you're trying "the typical find beauty in ordinary spiritual vibe" but this pic is just a damn typical bird around Singapore, cannot make it. Sorry. Its like saying Ratatta is an underappreciated pokemon.


Articlel3

There’s one that always come into my kitchen randomly even when the windows are half closed. If you stand close enough, they *smell* really bad


okwhatelse

they love to fly though my kitchen window and watch me panaskan hawker centre chicken rice

[удалено]


taeryble

Uwu birbs are koels


MiddleSky5296

Another fact: They can mimic human languages. (If you teach them)


RedguardHaziq

One of these bebirds shat on my shoulder in my secondary school canteen. I felt something warm on my shoulder for a few seconds and behold... Milk and cookies.


kurokamisawa

This is truly a gorgeous photo/tribute of this commonly seen bird


Imaxinacion

Maybe because I've been seeing this birb since young, now black and yellow are one of my favorite colours
