Stupid Birds
Wasn't real sure where to ask this but here it is. How do I keep birds from building nests in the grill of my H3?
Currently have one dead bird stuck in there(cant reach, will have to take apart the front end
) and on a daily basis I'm pulling out a new nest. Wierd thing is this is a daily driver but sits in the parking area at work about 10 hours a day and those bird seem to have their hearts set on a Hummer condo 
any suggestions would be appreciated

Chain a bird dog to the front end.

Re: Stupid Birds
haha the answers above are top notch.
but maybe those little net things that people put behind the grill, the mesh stuff. im thinking about that to keep bugs and small rocks from crashing into the radiator, its all bent from rocks. dont really know where to get it thou.

D'oh
I guess I've got tunnel vision just move my eyes 1/4 inch to the left and there it is. Owl would be more affordable, and my dogs would love to play guard dog if only I could park in the shade. Thanks for the input

Re: Stupid Birds
Would post a pic if I could, but dont actually own a computer, I get on with my work truck mounted laptop, cant hook anything to it(supposed to be working
) It is a little funny though when i get back to my 3 and theres twigs and stuff poking out of the grill

I don't really have a suggestion- the mesh stuff was good. I just wanted to let you know I was giggling at you.

Re: Stupid Birds
Owl?!! yeah yeah! No Brahma Bull hood ornament. Get the big old plastic Owl ornament the have for motorhomes, and mount that on your hood!
I would love to see that driving down the road. I had a cat crawl up inside my motor one time to stay warm at night, when I fired her up later that evening a bunch of fur and screams came flying out from under the rig. 
I about fell out of the car laughing. funny ish!

Re: Stupid Birds
That's an easy on. Keep your H3 super clean.
The birds will be too busy shytting on it rather than building nest.

Re: Stupid Birds
I think you need to shove a cat into your grill, to sort of even it out...
