Air filter beware

[hager5739]

Last week after coming back in town from a long weekend I found a surprise in my intake. A bird had made a nest in my intake. I have an airaid intake and the bird had made a nest all the way around the filter!

Wow! how long has it been since you opened the hood???? j/k

that is nuts! guess the bird thought it was a nice cozy place....

That's nuts... can't believe a bird would pick that spot. They can put an nest together in a real short period of time though!!

Well, hope it did not mess anything up. Looks like you have a new pet though

how did it get under the hood, what kind of bird was this. I would suspect a mouse before a bird. Don't get me wrong it is possible, makes me wonder when was the last time you checked your oil, tranny fluid, and all your other fluids.

it dont take long for a bird or other varmit to call your engine bay home. in a day or two they can set up shop.
ive seen a 10 foot water moccasin wraped up around an engine to stay warm, talk about a shocker when you open the hood!

Maybe the bird was using your filter as a feather dryer. Hey..I seen women using fishing lures as ear rings..it could happen. Yeah man..birds work fast...
