Many of us rely on traffic cameras to help us plan our commute. It’s nice to look at a live view of our path and anticipate any congestion. Sometimes, weather conditions aren’t great and block the view, but they’re a pretty reliable source for the most part. In New Zealand, they use traffic cams to help residents plan their commute, but it seems not everyone loves them. A New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi camera caught an unhappy myna bird causing trouble.

The Myna Bird Seemed To Be Giving The New Zealand Traffic Cam The Business
The transport agency shared a video of the angry bird on Facebook with a funny caption. It reads, “Wishing a great week ahead to everyone except this bird brain that needs to myna its own business. The myna bird is a pest in New Zealand – it’s aggressive towards our native birds, destroying their nests, eating native fruit, and taking over other birds’ territory, so this definitely wasn’t a welcome cameo on our cameras.”
Thankfully, the bird only stuck around for a few seconds and was on his way. “We monitor motorways 24 hours a day, seven days a week, though a myna annoyance like this can make the roads a bit tricky to see. Thankfully the myna didn’t stick around long and our bird’s eye view of the road was soon restored.”
New Zealanders filled the comment section with jokes about the traffic cam bird.
“I’m sure it was just a myna inconvenience,” someone wrote.
Another person joked, “Well, what else could it do? They can’t buy alcohol. They don’t serve myna’s.”
This person thinks the bird might be looking for his family, “Might be that Myna bird that got lost, his advertised on the lost and found pets Auckland, he might have been asking for help.”
