Welly pulls a bird with his Volvo.....

[Welly]

.....Yeah, this bird, stuck right on my intercooler




And when I fished it out with a stick...


Think I remember a bird flying in front of the car last Sunday morning (and wondered where it went) so it was hardly 'fresh' when I noticed it last night

I knew there had to be a play on words, I mean come on bird, pull, and volvo all in the same sentence, never gonna happen unless its pension day

Poor birdie

[Welly]

I know, it wasn't nice to see and fishing it out with two kinda 'chop sticks' was a bit minging tbh.

I'm guessing that it is (was) a British Common Chaffinch......

Classic !!!

Well looking at the bird it didn't die due to the impact ( volvo drivers dont travel fast enough for that to happen )
seems more likely it died through lack of food , dehydration and of course old age

Well, I guess it doesn't matter so much...

Did you eat it afterwards Welly?

It looks tasty.

a seagull crashed into the windscreen of my old Astra when i was doing 60 (ish, officer) along the coast road to South Shields. Smashed the windscreen, and left an excellent explosion of blood all over the roof and windscreen. luckily it was the passenger side so i was able to recover and pull up pretty quickly with no danger.

i called the police and asked them what to do (i was only 18) and they told me to just "take it to a bin"

so naturally, i scraped it onto the floor and left it there

slight problem with doing 60(ish) on the coast road,its a 40mph road these days and has been for some years now
