Anyone can give moi some examples of how this idiom can be applied in our life experiences?

Lots.

Eg

I have a job offer from a company now. But I am going for interviews with 2 other companies where I think I may get paid more. Should I accept the current job offer?

Eg

I have had a offer on a house accepted. But I just saw 2 other houses that look better. Should I give up this house and try for the other 2?

Eg

I have PR in Canada. But I can't work as a doctor there. But I can find work as a doctor in Australia and NZ. Except they wont give me PR outright. Must pass all their exams then I can get PR. Should I give up my Canada PR and try to find work as work permit holder in Oz or NZ?

I have a chiobu girlfriend but I like another chiobu girl. Should I dump the current chiobu to open the other chiobu present?

Sorry, this is a wrong example.
This is not mutually exclusive, you can two-time them.

@nayr69sg's example are better illustrations.
Eg. you won a $40 from toto last night, do you want to reinvest the $40 to win $1million in next draw?
 
Ginfreely has one customer with his bird in her mouth/hand. She's still looking at the 2 customers loitering outside her house near her bush.

Her customer was insulted and he gave her a slap, no more cock for her to suck. The 2 loitering outside her bush also left.

Now all her birds are gone and she can only stab herself down there with a knife.

Eg

I just got a call from the U of C family medicine residency program director that they are offering me a spot in the program. It will be for 2 years. Pay for the 2 years is about $60k a year. After completing the program I will be a family physician. Earnings will be about $200-$300k a year. But right now I am working in oil and gas. Current pay is about $80-$90k a year and there is prospect for further promotion.

Take pay cut? Short term loss long term gain?

The idea to is to get the bird in hand. Doing residency will mean get CCFP and licence to be dr. Bird in hand.

Oil and gas promotion who knows?

Suffice to say I did residency july 2013 to july 2015. And by the end of 2015 oil prices started to drop. Had I stayed in oil and gas probably retrenched and regret not getting bird in hand while was hoping for the 2 in the bush.
 
Always say yes. Always grab opportunities. Some will work out well some may not. You can say no later. But you want to be the one in control.

dont be those people when given opportunities will critique the opportunity nit pick and say this no good that no good maybe got something better then end up with NOTHING. No progress still stuck in the same situation.

Often losers will say aiyah if so good why so easy? Other people dowan? Must be not so good lah. Wait for something better.
 
wanking one's own bird in one's hand is not the same as sticking in two birds into a bush.
 
Have a multi fabric mask is better than no masks at all during Covid.
 
PAP as government of the day is better than a coalition of rubbish oppies!
 
It means one KKJ in her hand is better than 2 dildos in her bushy pussy
 
I’d simply say, let the bird in your hand free. Birds are supposed to fly freely. You will will surely have good karma. Sathu Sathu.
 
Example that all samsters can relate to : ATB double book 2 brothers in the same time slot. If both turn up just tell one to fuck off - that way ATB’s CB has 100% occupancy - better metric than fucking Khaw Boon Wan’s measure of #km between failures for MRT
