Title: Nest
Post by: sanjay on March 13, 2008, 10:21:39 PM
I haven't ridden since November, except for riding up and down the block a few weeks ago.  Didn't open the seat until today, though, and I almost freaked out.  I haven't figured out who the residents are/were.

Lol most birds can't afford to pay premium prices and the gs500 is abit like travel lodge - cheep but cheerful.

Those posh birds up in Beverly Hill probably make nests under the seats of Ducatis and MV's lol

lol !

looks like the Common House Wren nests we used to get in MS. These are c0cky little birds ! When I would sweep / blow off the rear deck this little 3-4 inch bird would squawk at me from 3 feet away, raising all kind of hell. He'd come up and steal fur from the dog while he slept for his next too. Coooooooocky birds !

Now they're squatting in gs's !?  lol

Cool!

Out here in SoCal we get rat's nests in car engines frequently, if the cars sit for a month or two. Mild weather and lots of trees that have stuff they like to eat. Bad part is they love to chew up wires, especially plug wires.
