This was shared on Thursday, August 16, by a Malaysian woman who appears to have been decidedly upset by the bird's actions: 

The video, which shows the mynah in action:

Here's the text of her post, translated:

I walked past a bakery in Singapore Lavender and saw this sight. I kindly informed the shopkeeper as I thought she did not know about it, but she gave me a look and subsequently ignored me. The bread that has been eaten by the bird will have germs, right? Is it still fit to be sold? Will the relevant unit please sort it out, will be most grateful!

In case you didn't watch the video:

If you're curious, the mynah neither tasted victory nor walked away with the spoils (not in the video, anyway).

Sad :(
