I was leaving to go to the video store when I was surprised by this....(see attachments)..not sure what kind of bird it was, but it was very happy to be set free. I guess I left my window cracked too much...it was still a memorial day miracle nonetheless...hope you all had a good one!

 

That was cool and did the bird get free later on....

 

Even birds want to have a closer look at the MINI

 

Maybe thats why I have so much of their poo on my car

Now thats a cool Memorial Day event.

 

awww- one of my kittens hopped in the car yesterday while i was cleaning it - maybe she was looking for a birdie! ha

i didn't know she was in there and i shut the door - good thing i came right back outside to take a picture of "pepe"'s first wax

 

I wonder if we should rename the thread "Why you shouldn't leave your windows cracked"

 

Wow, I thought MY mini could fly, but ......

 

As long as there is no bird poop, the critter is welcome.

 

you found that bird in time. That's one of those red-headed MINI peckers! It shreds sports seats, rips the wiring out of HK systems and then poops on your steering wheel before flying off. Count your blessings!

 

Awww...one lucky birdie that you found him/her before he may have done some damage inside your MINI. Maybe him/her was looking for a nesting place....

I can't believe the coincidence!

Yesterday morning, I was at a store and there was a bird hopping up and down on a row of shopping carts. I noticed something moving inside one of the carts--another bird caged in the free space at the nose end of the cart, but blocked in by the rest of the row of carts.

There was a little gap at the top, and the bird must have squeezed in to eat some junk left in the cart.

The bird on top was staying with its trapped companion.

I approached and pulled the carts apart, and the two birds flew off together.

Two trapped bird stories on Memorial Day! A very unusual coincidence!

 

It looks like a House Finch. Put some birdseed in your cupholder.

 

Maybe the birds are just hoping/dreaming they got a visit from Extreme Makeover: Birdhouse Edition!!!

 

I guess you could say that he flew the coupe....

 

Or should that read flew the Cooper ??

Ahhhhh - cute!

But is that poop on the head rest?

 

:smile: It is a great little story! But it sure does look like birdie poop on the passenger's headrest!

like me you got a good eye, I caught it before my girlfriend put her head on it! I was mad but then I got over it...no worries

 

I thought so! But I was surprised nobody else mentioned it. So I wasn't sure.

But here's another one (my keen eye has spotted);

What is the large Mini logo in the upper right corner (camera view) of the window? Is that something you put on?

 

good catch! I do custom vinyl and that is an etched glass mini logo i made. PM me if you are intersted or email me. I'll load a better shot when i get home.

 

I found this in the paper a few days ago.

 

Not only is that really super cute. That's also a sign of good luck to come:smile:
