Because people are just people.

This bird is called a Bronze Mannikin. i think you should just leave the window open and let it do its thing. in a few weeks botn the adults and chicks will be gone nad you may then remove the nest if you choose. its not harmful to you in any way. you can enjoy watching them doo their thing without disturbing them.

please open the wondow for it

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.

See finish is another issue

You did not add "see finish"

Found myself going down that route and i snatched the initiative back. it helps that you have a spouse who understands that there is a need for prioritising yourself too and encourages you to do so.

"Marriage is like a temple, however it should be noted that the pillars which hold up the temple have to stand apart"

Babatunjo:
I look at some married men and sometimes you can see it.

He loves his wife. Loves his children. Would probably die for them.

But the man himself has slowly disappeared.

Everything is duty now.

School fees. Rent. Work. Family. In-laws. Problems. Somebody always needs something.

And nobody forced him.

It happened small small. One reasonable sacrifice after another until he became a shell, the last person on his own list.

Providing for everybody while slowly abandoning yourself is not the highest form of being a man.

This is where Nietzsche's idea of the Übermensch enters for me.

The man should still be becoming.

Still building his body. His mind. His money. His craft. His own vision of life.

Marriage should add responsibility, yes.

But responsibility should make you bigger, not erase you.

Love your wife. Raise your children. Carry your load oo.

But keep becoming the man you were capable of becoming.

Don't just provide a life for everybody else and forget to remain really alive, and become what you could be.

As you get older you look up to the skies less. Also there is a lot more light pollution now.

Basically when I was a kid, I used to see a lot stars in the sky, right now it's no longer like that

now that you are older you generally look uo in womder a lot less. in addition light pollutoin has increased significantly making the stars appear less visible.

Someone raised this question in church last week being a family weekend in my denomination.
She asked if it's right for christian couple to do other sex styles apart from the "mummy and daddy " style and there were mixed reactions from the youth and some of our old school parents.

One elderly woman said, there's only one way to the door while some young mothers said if both parties agree then it's fine but I ( representing the youth) was of the opinion that it's a sin. This didn't go down well with some of our middle aged mommies until I backed it up with some points..

One of the mommies was like, since they are now married, they own their bodies and can do whatever they like with it but I countered her by asking if such styles glorify God.

I went on to ask where such styles were copied from... Pornography. This dirty styles were not in existence before now and was not practised by our forefathers; even if it was, it was probably during Sodom and Gomorrah and we all know God's take on their actions. Now bringing to our own time, these styles became popular when pornography took over the internet and most couples practicing it learnt it from pornographic contents ( which is a sin) probably during their worldly days and are now gradually bringing such practice into the church and trying to paint it nice by saying their bodies belong to each other therefore they can do anything.

Pornography where these styles emanated from is a sin and this makes the practice of such styles a sin as it doesn't give glory to God but the devil. As christians, I believe everything should be done in moderation and to the glory of God.

Remember, your body is the temple of the holy spirit. So, do not use worldly practices and fetishes to defile your bodies.

What you guys think?


Modified.

Ok guys, I see everyone trying to justify this act by saying it's not stated anywhere in the bible what styles couples should do but at the same time condeming the act of anal sex. What a double standard.

Now, if we are to go by your submissions, where is it stated in the bible that the VJ is the right entrance and not anal?

Were Adam and Eve taught where to use, going by your argument? No, they chose it themselves. So why kick against anal if I can't kick against different styles?

This shows that we all have a sense of right and wrong and should be able to do the right thing and not try to bend it to favor us when it's not convenient reason some can say anal sex is wrong and different styles is not right. Simple!

This is an example of how culture and personal differences make it into the the church and are interpreted as God's will.

Does the bible describe these so called "dirty styles" as sin?

There is no evidence that these styles emanated from porn at best you will say they emanated from western culture.....even that is probably false cos we had no idea what styles our forefathers used or what Isaac used with Rebecca. Sex is meant to be enjoyed between husband and wife no put your sand sand in their garri with boredom

because its truly not a stroll in the park. however challenges stick to people's minds more than victories

this is not to say it cannot be beutiful and sweet. however, what prepares and intending couple better for marriage " the its not easy or the its beautiful"

Kind regards

I bought the redmi note 15 but I've not seen anywhere to buy the original screen guard. All the ones I've seen are not lapping well with the curved screen

Same issue I have. I have bought locally and on temu to no avail. I have resolved to use non glass protectors pending when i can find a good source

If you primarily do city driving and don't need the space that the Highlander offers then the CRV should be the more economically viable choice

After applying to 500 Jobs from job boards and communities for 3 months straight with only 18 emails been opened. You followed up and no pim after that.

I have come to the realization that Job board application’s isn’t worth it. After starting glued and sticking like a watch job to submit a job 20-30 mins after being posted and getting ghosted.

I have seen someone commit sucide because she was not able to get a job and have been asked to pack out from where she was leaving. This job hunting game is survival now 😂.

Why post a job if you have given it out already?

I did a DNA test on my four children and God so good they are all mine . But i have a issue .None of them looks like me .

I have always wanted to see my replica,a child that would look like me .But they all looked like their mother

I'm always embarrassed each time I go out with them because they are all fair in complexion and skinny too like their mother .But I'm a tall dark man with a bold body . They didn't look like me at all .Each time I go out with them it's always like they are not my children or they are my brothers children .There's no atom of resemblance at all .

Infact many people usually tell me to do DN a in which I letter did infact in two places to confirm my claim .

Now the issue is that I have asked my wife again to get pregnant and let's see if that one will look like me but she refused .

Please don't blame me yet only those in my shoes will know how heartbreaking it is having 4 children and non looks like you . It affected me mentally that I do not even have fatherly bond with them even after the DNA . I look like my father ,my father looks like his father . I do not want that look to end with me .Infact I don't even mind if it's a girl that would look like me .I just want my look alike

I planned marrying another wife since she refused to get pregnant again .

Kindly post for your followers . Their advice and suggestions will go along way .Shes also one of your followers so I'm sure she would see people's advices too .

I'm not a bad man but I can't just stand 4 kids not looking like me . I have an handsome face and body .Those who are in my shoes will understand.

What did you this Man should do, I will like to hear you in the comment section.

Insecurity na big issue. No use your hand buy problem

Another relationship will not fill the void you may be feeling now.
Best you take your time to get over it.

Toolegit123:
Good day my fellow Nairalanders. Of late,my fiancee and I broke up and I've been considering about going into a new relationship. I must really say all the time I was with my ex,I was so commitment to her to the extent that I didn't even have time for any other woman. She knew that and Peru that must be one of my weaknesses she saw.

But the truth is that it's been over a month we ended the relationship and I really long to go into another's relationship as an escape route for me to stop thinking about my ex.

So,my questions to you my fellow Nairalanders,how long should a man wait before going into another relationship after a break up? Is it right to find love as soon as possible considering the fact that the it was my ex who ended the relationship for reasons only known to her?

100% Facts. we have a very toxic relationship with ourselves. we will reject a relative's spouse from another tribe/village/sect but wait till we see oyinbo.................

there is something self destructive about us.

Marmalata:
The same pattern rears its head everywhere – social media, group chats, comment sections, real life. We have an almost rehearsed tendency to tear ourselves apart, and it shows up in ways that should embarrass us more than they do. I’m not talking about healthy criticism or accountability, but a reflexive self-sabotage that kicks in the moment we should be closing ranks. Three examples:

First: we fight each other and leave the actual oppressors alone. Open any political post on Nigerian social media and count how many replies it takes before two or three people have abandoned the original topic entirely and descended into personal insults, ethnic slurs, or religious mud-slinging. Someone raises a point about infrastructure decay, and within six comments it’s “your tribe caused this” or “people like you are the problem.” The inability to sustain a single conversation about transforming this country – without fragmenting into tribal, religious, and ideological warfare – is staggering. We reserve our sharpest words for fellow citizens recommending a course of action we disagree with, while the people actually sitting on our necks barely get a side-eye.

Second: we cannot – or will not – present a united front when outsiders target us. An organization slaps a blanket ban on Nigerians because of the actions of a handful of bad actors, and instead of collectively pushing back against the laziness of that decision, we turn inward and start the blame game. “Well, it’s because Nigerians don’t behave abroad” – as if every other country on earth doesn’t have its own criminals. Every society has bad eggs; what separates most from us is that they don’t volunteer to smear themselves with the dung someone else flung at them.

Third: we echo unfavorable narratives made by outsiders instead of interrogating them. Remember when local cake picnics trended sometime last year? Multiple events across Nigeria were beautifully organized – colourful, well-coordinated, genuinely impressive. One was a mess. Guess which one foreign publications chose to amplify? And instead of Nigerians asking why a single outlier was cherry-picked to represent the whole, the dominant response was “yes o, that’s how we are.” 🤦‍♀️

We demonstrate every marking of a people who do not like themselves – and then act surprised when our government treats us as disposable, when we get singled out for discriminatory visa bans, when the international default assumption about Nigeria is negative. There’s an old adage: dress how you want to be addressed. You give others the name you want to be called, and right now we are naming ourselves with other people’s insults. If we want a better quality of existence tied to our national identity, the work starts within – in your group chats, your comment sections, your dinner table conversations. Call it out where you see it. Refuse to be the one who confirms the stereotype for applause. Because nobody is coming to defend a people who won’t even defend themselves.

why did the sister post the video

Lady Breaks Down in Tears After Learning Her Ex-Boyfriend Is Getting Married 💔

A beautiful young lady was filmed by her sister crying uncontrollably after discovering that her ex-boyfriend is tying the knot with another woman.

Unable to hold back her emotions, she burst into tears upon realizing that her hope of reconciling with the man she once loved was now gone forever.

Though it wasn't stated who ended the relationship, one can tell she still has feelings for him ... So sorry dear

Every true Born again Christian must remember the day and place he or she got born again, but may not remember the exact date. This can be true for the uneducated people that are elderly: they may remember the day, place and experience, but may not remember the date.

It is good to know the date, but it is compulsory to remember the day and the place, else, your salvation experience may not be true. You have to know the day you experienced salvation and the place.

Today is a day to be saved and to remember the date. Pray sincerely now and tell Jesus to forgive all your sins and come into your heart.

If you prayed such prayer today, you got born again today. Save the date, attend a good church, read your bible every day and pray everyday.

It is important to be saved. The date is irrelevant. The remembrance is of sentimental value only. Live your life out daily in pursuit of God's purpose.

Good afternoon everyone, I know that nairaland is filled with a lot of reasonable and experienced people, am a young man and I need guidance please.

So am married with a 8 month old baby, and make about 1M naira monthly for the past 3years now , it's not been easy from a financial aspect because we live in lagos and I discover that as I write this, I don't have up to 3M naira to my name, I don't know how money disappears, please note that am not a lavish spender, I don't party or go clubbing.

Please how do I save more money, because God forbid something happens now I don't have any money to fall back on. No landed property or anything. Please I need help thanks.

How much is your rent? How many cars do you have? Do you drive to work daily? What does your wife do?
Do you save in a bank account or in an investment?

Do you shop groceries in bulk? Where do you shop from?

hope you have a heat lamp installed?

mgamelia:
When I first brought my chameleon home, I noticed the same thing. Her colors looked dull one moment, then darker or patterned the next. I’ll be honest—it worried me at first.

But here’s what I’ve learned.
Color change in chameleons is often their way of communicating, not a warning sign.

In your case, the pattern showing up when the room is quiet and she’s resting is actually pretty common. It usually means she feels safe enough to relax. I’ve seen this in underfed rescues too—once they start recovering, their color patterns become more noticeable.

That said, not all color changes are equal. Bright, calm tones during rest? That’s usually fine. But very dark colors all day, combined with lack of appetite or hiding, can point to stress or incorrect setup.

What Your Chameleon’s Colors Are Really Saying

From my experience, blue bars (especially in females or juveniles) can show mood shifts, mild alertness, or even environmental response like lighting changes. It’s not automatically a bad sign.

One small thing many people overlook is environment stability.
Even quiet rooms can still feel “new” to them.

Example: I once moved a plant inside the enclosure, and my chameleon changed color for two days straight. Nothing else changed. Just that one detail.

So here’s what I recommend:
Keep her routine stable. Avoid overhandling. Maintain proper lighting, hydration, and feeding.

If she’s eating, slowly gaining weight, and moving normally… you’re on the right track.

Honestly, this is one of those cases where doing less is often better.

Toolegit123:
Good day everyone.

So recently I've been thinking about marriage. Tho I'm in a relationship but the woman I've been dating doesn't really seem to have the same serious interest and intentions like me. I've talked to her severally but it seems she isn't ready to settle down yet. Imagine this is someone whom I've gone to see her people and they know me well. My own people know her too. I've equally talked to her mom since she's the one parent she has . And had also talked to her best friend about it too.

But one thing I've noticed about her is that she's over religious and seems to be too close to her pastor. The last time I talked to her about the marriage stuff,she directed me to go and talk to her pastor. Tho I was initially furious about it but I just had to man up,kill my pride and decided to pay her pastor a visit.

From the conversation I had with her pastor,it seems he's one of the major stumbling blocks. Because he was only curious about my financial status he was even asking me what was my source of livelihood,and of which I told him. Afterwards,he then asked me what was my monthly salary. Saying if I'm sure I can take care of my fiancee with that amount,or if I'm planning to have a side hustle. That he doesn't want a case where any of her spiritual daughter will go into a marriage where she'll be suffering. I told her categorically clear that I'm not a lazy man and I don't intend to put anyone's daughter into suffering in the name of marriage.

It's been over a week since I left the pastor's office, and since then,my fiancee has been behaving so cold towards me.

So I don't know whether to continue with my proposal or I should just kindly look for another lady to marry.

Sounds like you are forcing the issue. Let it rest never marry someone who is not excited about the union.

I eat it often. mainly as barbecue and sometimes as a stir fry sauce.
how much do you sell a Kilo?

You can force the horse to the brook, but you cannot force it to drink.
You have done well........it's her life and risk

Omo report to the authorities if you have evidence of a crime. coming to drag people on Social media is problematic on many levels. dem go use police carry you. they can also sue you for defamation.

People just want to engage in social media dragging to gain clout. Always watch what you say

Becasue we see as humans and the love of God is not in our hearts. Money for us is the biggest achievement and the best kind of God's blessing. No human society exists without social stratification and the most common method of stratification is wealth.
