Some years back, a Carolina wren built a nest in the light on our front porch. Mostly, we don't use that door. Ordered pizza so the wife turned the light on. Crispy chicks anyone? Could have burned down the house.

My Dad used to say, "Bend over to work on the car and a wren will have a nest in the crack of your ass before you stand up."

Wrens really are strange like that. I've seen a truck parked for only a few hours and a wren starts building a nest in the muffler.

Not at all. This was 2006/2007. I was looking out the narrow window on a door at work and saw a wren going in-and-out of a truck's tailpipe with pieces of straw and grass. I Googled it right then and found that they are notorious for building nests in strange places.

Like ass cracks....lololol
 
When I was a kid, my dad and I were getting the lawnmower, lawn furniture out of the shed in the springtime. And move the winter gear into the shed for the summer. e.g. snowblower, snow shovels etc... My dad found a mouse nest in the lawn mower, wedged between the engine and the steel deck. The parents ran like hell and abandoned the nest which was chuck full of new born pink mouse babies. There must have been 15+ of them. After pondering for a few seconds, my dad individually throws each baby hard against the floor, most likely killing it instantly. The bodies went into the compost after that.

It was raining when I came home yesterday. I saw a big SUV parked in front of my apartment building and a little wren was going in and out of the chassis with nesting materials in its beak. Cute little bird.

Thought of this thread.
 
We bought a home last year, and also went camping later in the year. Wife had stored camp chairs and such in the patio/3-season room over the summer, and we had been fighting with the chipmunks and mice to convince them that it really wasn't theirs.

Anyway, packed up the car in the fall, drove 500+ miles, got into our cabin up at McLain State Park and I started unpacking. We had picked up Grandpa and he was helping to watch the boys, we were opening up the camp chairs (the kind like this) and squish squish squish.

Baby mice were in one of the bags for a chair, they had chewed the bottom up a little, but more importantly, I was really happy I had sneakers on when I slimed them. D:
