Alright guys need some opinions or advice on how to prevent this.
I walked outside yesterday to check my oil and fluids and when I lifted the hood up A bird had pretty much built an entire nest Under my airfilter!!! This truck does not sit for extended periods, 10 hours or so at most. It's my DD so im either at school or work.
Funny thing is these birds built a nest in my mom's Escape also. I cleared the nest out and check again this morning and they were already in the process of doing it again!
Any Ideas on how to prevent this??? I thought of maybe placing a rubber snake under the filter? Or just a piece of hose, something to scare them off. Im afraid of sucking a bird into the turbo! lmao!

 

Mount a big ole plastic Owl on the hood and them birds will be too scared to call your truck home

 

good idea jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaackman! But maybe just set the owl on a post next to the truck OR just set it on the roof each time you park @ home.

 

Hahaha that's actually pretty good... My Grandma has a plastic owl on a post, i gota head up her way this evening to get some Diamond Plate trim pieces for my truck. I might just get it from her and stick it in the yard! lol
