Bird Casually Pecks At Pizza In Waterway Point Bakery
Everyone loves a good pizza. As it turns out, so do birds.
On Saturday (31 Oct), a netizen spotted a mynah pecking away at a pizza put on display at a Waterway Point bakery.
He took to Facebook a few days later to share about the incident.
When confronted, one of the bakery’s staff even claimed that it was a common occurrence.
Mynah bird feasts on pizza crumbs at bakery
The netizen in question was visiting Waterway Point on Saturday (31 Oct) when something caught his eye — he allegedly spotted a bird casually chilling in the pizza counter of a bakery.
From a video, the bird was seen pecking on pizza crumbs and appeared to be enjoying the pepperoni ‘feast’.
Alarmed, the netizen alerted the staff about the mynah.
However, to his surprise, the employee allegedly shrugged it off, claiming it had happened many times before.
The staff also added that they had previously given feedback on the issue but no subsequent action was taken.
After having his fill, the mynah took off just as a bakery staff casually approached the pizza counter.
Netizen reports incident to SFA
The incident appears to have occurred at Proofer Boulangerie bakery, located in the basement of Waterway Point mall.
Having witnessed the blatant daylight ‘robbery’, the netizen seemed disturbed by the lack of hygiene and took to Facebook to rant,
Just imagine — some of us may be sharing food with the bird.
According to AsiaOne, the netizen has since reported the incident to the Singapore Food Agency (SFA).
MS News has also reached out to Proofer Boulangerie for a statement on the matter. Stay tuned for more updates.
Concern about food hygiene standards
It seems birds in Singapore have recently developed a real appetite for dining at the same places as humans.
On Wednesday (3 Nov), a Redditor spotted a pigeon at a BreadTalk outlet in Eastpoint Mall.
Pigeons were also seen enjoying a ‘buffet feast’ at a Geylang cai png stall 2 weeks ago.
