🎶A well a everybody's heard about the bird B-b-b bird, bird, bird, b-bird's the word A well a bird, bird, bird, the bird is the word A well a bird, bird, bird, well the bird is the word🎶

It's no longer an Air Filter; it's a Bird Filter. Imagine explaining how a bird got sucked into your auto engine.

[@HeyyoChico-f1x]

You forgot to do the Sesame Street Count laugh as you counted😂

[@customerstateswhat]

I was thinking that as I was counting.

[@mechanic1955.]

Well, if he doesn't want to be a mechanic anymore, he could take over the counts Dracula job on Sesame Street.

My guess is a weasel got them, dragged them up there to eat/stay warm. I have issues with the things on my farm here in Michigan, they like to get large numbers of birds and stuff them places, I just lost 15 pigeons and 2 hens to one.

[@9wowable]

No bird feces in there too. I’d have to agree.

I'm a big bird lover and mechanic so this ticks two boxes for me. Here's what I think: Birds will sometimes all pile together in a hollow space (cavity in a tree, drainpipe, birdhouse, etc.) in bitter cold weather to get out of the cold and share their body warmth so they can get through the night. I've not heard of Robins (they seem to all be Robins) doing this but it's entirely possible. I've seen pictures of smaller birds like nuthatches piled into a birdhouse on a cold night, with as many as 15-20 in one average size birdhouse. When you weigh under an ounce, anything you can do to stay warm is reasonable. If a bird finds its way into the air intake tube opening, others might follow. Looks like the intake coming into the air box is large enough for a bird as large as a Robin to fit through without getting sucked in. Once inside, if the car were driven before they got out, the vacuum from the engine intake could be strong enough to prevent them from getting out, especially once up to speed. They may then have perished from heat. People living in colder areas could prevent similar issues by putting heavy screening (e.g., 1/4" holes) over the intake to prevent such entry but not restrict airflow. Of course, you might want to then check periodically to make sure it doesn't have leaves or other foreign debris causing any restriction. I've seen cool bugs and evidence of rodents in air cleaner boxes and have seen birds stuck in grilles, but never something like this.

[@tedlahm5740]

well written. thank you.

[@9wowable]

Just realised there’s no bird feces in there. As someone already commented something must’ve dragged them up there for later consumption.

At this point, you're gonna need a full blown Bird Law expert.

I developed a scratchy throat and cough after watching Part 1.

[@jomama01]

Sorry to see some of the vehicles you get to work on. Hard to imagine they thought this was a great place to hang out. Assume vehicle sat for a long time. Just flocking incredible!

[@frankbiz]

Wow, that's crazy! That's a lot of debris. That's what happens when a person never checks their oil etc.

[@ringstinga]

How the hell ? Poor little things, God Bless them.

[@daviddennis8310]

Yeah, that's my question too. How did they get in there? Good Sunday morning, CSW!

[@larryharry7221]

Damn, that's nasty.

[@chamwow168]

I can't imagine the surprise of the person who found that

[@walterbutscher8438]

Can't believe it drove. Says alot about Toyota

[@buckneighkidd419]

...... that eggsplains a lot!

[@toomanybikes]

How did the car even run ?

[@stefanczechorskidds8435]

Those orange bellies ; sure look like Robins (bird of Wisconsin).

[@customerstateswhat]

8 full size Robins

[@WillyPete_]

I had a similar problem with my High Performance Twin Squirrel Gerbil Charger. Ive been left stranded a few times while fording. for the Life of me, i cant figure this one out....... :P

[@michelbrodeur6055]

WOW

[@Tjock-TV]

Not often I feel like saying this but.... not very good :(

[@walterbutscher8438]

Did that car drive in or was it towed

[@customerstateswhat]

This vehicle drove in for service.

[@wurly1]

Incredible that it could still draw enough air for the engine to run

[@andrewkruchoski7757]

// Googats birdsnest eh?

[@peterbenson3776]

[@shumcr]

[@hiramwillis]

Does that car qualify as a bird sanctuary?

[@billynomates920]

[@HeyyoChico-f1x]

Cold weather? Man idk 🤷‍♂️

[@Yawnz2]

@customerstateswhat You got me imagining 8 birds fly under a car to cram themselves into that little compartment. Musta been a really cold day!

[@customerstateswhat]

@Yawnz2 it got into the teens for a few days last week. Had to be then.

[@deanehammitt7604]

Someone had to have put them in there. There is no other way they could have gotten in there.
