Pets › Re: I Accidentally Trapped This Bird Inside My Window – Should I Set It Free Or Keep by gr8child(m): 2:57pm On Oct 07 |
I can't imagine anything more horrible than having the whole sky to fly in, then getting captured and being kept in a little cage for the rest of your life. LexFlex10: Good morning everyone. I need your advice/opinions on something that happened in my house.
I took this picture of a bird that has been visiting my window for some time now. At first, I didn’t really pay much attention to it, but after some time I started noticing that the bird was coming regularly and behaving differently.
There is a kind of net/space around my window, and apparently, the bird has made a nest somewhere inside. I could always hear the sounds of the little birds/chicks inside whenever the adult bird came around.
What really caught my attention was that the adult bird didn’t just come there randomly. It seemed like the mother and another bird, which I assume is the father or her mate, were both taking care of the little ones. I would see one of them come around with something in its mouth, enter the net, stay for a while and then leave. Sometimes the other one would come shortly after and do the same thing.
So I became curious and started paying more attention to them. I could hear the little birds making noise whenever the adults came to feed them. It was actually interesting to watch because both adult birds seemed to be taking turns caring for the young ones.
Now this is where the problem started.
Today, the bird came into the net again. I happened to be close to the window, so I quickly closed/locked the window without thinking much about it. After I locked it, I realized that the bird was now trapped inside.
She immediately started trying to find her way out. She was moving around and looking for an opening, obviously trying to escape. At the same time, I could see the other bird outside flying around and staying close to the window.
The outside bird kept moving around as if it was looking for its mate. Meanwhile, the one inside was also moving around trying to find a way out.
That’s when I started feeling somehow guilty because I realized that I might have separated a mother from her babies and also separated the two adult birds from each other.
Now I’m confused about what to do.
Should I open the window and allow the bird to fly out immediately?
Or should I leave her there for a while because the chicks are inside the net and she may need to stay around them?
I’m also wondering whether I should completely leave the nest and the birds alone from now on, or whether I should do something to make the place safer for them.
I honestly didn’t plan to trap the bird. It happened because I noticed her inside and locked the window. I also don’t want to do anything that could harm the bird or prevent the parents from taking care of their young ones.
I’ve attached the picture I took of the bird.
Nairalanders, what do you think I should do?
1. Should I free the bird immediately? 2. Should I leave her there because the chicks are somewhere inside? 3. Is it possible that the other bird outside is actually her mate? 4. Should I leave the nest alone completely until the chicks are grown? 5. Has anyone experienced something similar before?
Please share your thoughts and experience. I genuinely don’t want to make the wrong decision and end up harming the birds. |

These conversation are incomprehensible to people living in the Western world. In those countries, marriage is a partnership where both parties come together in love to pool resources to grow a family and support each other. In Africa, a lot of the time, it is just another increased obligation for the man, which, increasingly these days, he doesn't even receive appreciation for. |
