A routine day took a colourful turn for one Malaysian household when a rare bird unexpectedly flew into their home, leaving the residents both stunned and fascinated.

According to a Reddit post that quickly gained traction online, the bird appeared confused as it fluttered around the room, repeatedly bumping its head against a glass barrier in an attempt to escape. The user who shared the post wrote, "None of us has seen a rare bird like this before," describing the unexpected visitor as "extremely cute" and visibly dazed.

The vibrant creature was later identified as a Jambu fruit dove, a species not commonly seen even in its native habitats across Southeast Asia. With its soft pastel feathers and striking colour palette, the bird left a strong impression on those who saw the video.

Thankfully, the bird was gently guided out of the room and safely released back into the wild, unharmed.

The post quickly went viral, sparking a wave of admiration and wonder among netizens. One user exclaimed, "That's a cool bird, damn, so colourful!!!" while another compared the doves hues to sirap bandung, a beloved Malaysian drink known for its pink milky appearance.

Others chimed in with similar awe: "So pretty, the pastel colours!" wrote a user, clearly captivated by the dove's gentle beauty.

While the Jambu fruit dove may not be easy to spot in the wild, its brief detour into a Malaysian home gave many a rare glimpse into the natural wonders that often go unnoticed.
