Trying to decide how best to tackle our basement windows

We have three of these basement windows and I am trying to understand them so I can replace or repair them. They slope inward which is bizarre to me as it lets water just flow inside. There is an interior wooden framed window that you can see in these photos, it opens inward and lifts upward. Plus an unattached metal window that theoretically attached to the metal frame remnants and opened outward (we have the windows though two have broken glass). And then there appears to have once been a nailed in screen on top of that.

So fellow old house owners of reddit, how would you tackle these windows? Repair and reinstall the original windows? Scrap it all and do new windows? What about that weird slopping inside?

Quail with wry neck

We have a crooked quail. She is only a couple weeks old and we hatched her ourselves. She has been a little off from the start. First she would rest her beak on the ground as if her head was just too heavy to support. Then she went crooked and began running backwards like something out of the exorcist.

We have been giving her nutridrench, but the only positive result I have seen is that now she will walk forward. She is still very crooked.

Anything else to try? Should I call a young priest and an old priest?

Does anyone have an invisible fence collar that works for remote camping that they would recommend?

We go camping every year in a pretty remote spot in the woods and I am trying to find a way to give our puppy some room to roam without losing him. My sister has an invisible fence collar that we borrowed this weekend at my Mom's and it worked very well to keep him in her yard, but it has to be plugged in to work which won't work for camping. So I am looking for one that would work out in the woods. Any recommendations?
