Strange Bird We Caught In Our Compound by lorenzmond(m): 10:08am On Aug 09, 2023
Hello Nairalanders,

My neighbor caught this strange bird in our compound today.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that it's not meant to be in this region. We can't really explain how it got here.

Furthermore, it's a rare bird. When I Googled it, I found out it's called an Azure Gallinule, which typically inhabits the South American regions.

It's so beautiful that I wouldn't want to hurt it. My landlord said he wants to keep it and feed it Agbado (corn), but that's not its usual meal.

If there is a bird conservation organization in Nigeria, please come and take it.

Mods, please help."

U are reasonable unlike most greedy Nigerians that always see meat when they come across animals and foolishly put the blame on hunger.
