Video: Sheikh Hamdan won't use his SUV for a while, and here's why

The Dubai Crown Prince is taking his Mercedes SUV off the roads for a while - because a little bird decided to build a nest on its windshield.

In a video shared (Instagram story) by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai  and Chairman of The Executive Council,  the bird could be seen peacefully sitting on her eggs in the little nest it set up at the bottom of the SUV's windshield.

Sheikh Hamdan also decided to place a red tape around his vehicle to prevent other people and vehicles from disturbing the bird and her eggs.
