The Crown Prince of Dubai has earned praise for refusing to use his Mercedes after spotting a bird’s nest on it. Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum is a nature lover, according to Esquire, and his reputation as an environmentalist was further boosted by his decision to cordon off his Mercedes-AMG G63 SUV.

According to Khaleej Times, Sheikh Hamdan had recently posted an Instagram story which showed his Mercedes cordoned off with red and white tape inside his Dubai residence. He reportedly also told his staff to stay away from the area so as not to disturb the bird. The video, filmed from a distance, showed the bird sitting on her nest on the SUV’s windshield.
