Did read just the headline on one of the airline sites, but didnt go into reading the whole story and was surprised to learn now that it was on a SIA flight. Yes its interesting to know how did the mynah bird got into the plane and during the crew took over of the aircraft that they did not discover or see the bird. Must be the first time a bird has " flown over 10,000km all the way to London"

The mynah bird here is a scavenger and describe as a pest and one can see them around the hearlands and in areas like rubish bins etc or around dead animals. The main risk to passengers would be the diseases and health risks posed for the passengers.Last edited by flyguy; 15 January 2019, 12:33 PM.

The way you describe it, one may end up thinking that the mynah is a carrion specialist and that one can find many dead animals in Singapore, since the population of mynahs is so substantial. I'm not so sure calling it a scavenger is accurate. It is probably more accurate to call the mynah a nuisance, which is in large part due to the numbers of people who litter, leave their food uncleared/unthrown in hawker centres or in public spaces, and even those who deliberately feed the mynah thinking it's a good deed.
