i always drive with my window open a bit even on cold days but for a while now i have been able to hear the birds twittering over the noise of the car


its taken me weeks to work out that the birds are coming from my wing mirror.


i cant stop the noise unless i press the glass but its getting too dangerous to drive like that. the glass isn't loose or anything and i have not hit the wing mirror


any suggestions?

 

Yeah, you need some seed to coax it out, put a little pile on the lip of the mirror, then when the little blighter comes out grab him (or her). Place the little birdie into a box with some hay for release into the wild later. No more bird twittering away behind your wing mirror.

It is also a good idea to fit a bird guard now to stop another getting in there. Basically a strip of fine mesh fitted in the gap between the mirror and the housing to stop another getting in. Do both sides

You can now release your captive, take a nice drive into the countryside and choose somewhere nice, where you think it will enjoy living out it's remaining years on this earth. Carefully release it and say your goodbyes.

Job done.

Good luck

You would`nt belive it but mine does it too!! between 30-40mph
Might try wot coffindodger said tho

 

and you live in Herts, same as me


how weird though, it really bugs me now

it could be that we have big birds here

CD knows i might try any suggestion

 

lmao same as me took me months to work it out lol

 

what did you work out?

 

lol there are loads of big "birds" in hatfield where i live

its just wind noise aint it, but like you say its getting on my **** now lol

 

Funny thread lol
Change your mirrors to one of them diddy carbon ones, problem solved

Wiley

 

i thought Hatfield was part of China now

i only go to Asda in Hatfield and thats pretty scarey, big birds


i might see about getting my steering wheel moved to the other side

 

Shut the window???

 

i never go there coz of all the students lol

if you move your steering wheel i will too

this is turning into a thread lol

 

spec just suggesting shutting the window

the noise will still be there and passersby would think i had some trapped birds in my car



the steering wheel seems the most obvious choice

 

Who cares? Turn the stereo up too.

 

That must be the only bit you haven't Sarah Sorry. I'll get my coat


We used to do our shopping there too.

 

you are right there

they are normally the first thing to go

and they are original. thats what makes it more strange, if they were off ebay i would expect odd noises

 

sod it! at least it aint a knocking or a banging!

think i will be able to live with it

touch wood it dont start all that anyway!!!

 

yeah your right. a few weeks ago my gearbox was hanging out of my car

 

oh no sorry to hear!
its all good now i hope
nice looking car by the way
