Check this out! Our microwave died & when it was removed, we found THESE in the vent! What kind of eggs do you think they are? (I’m HORRIFIED to think that we were cooking these while we used the microwave!) #birds #birdwatching #birdsofmastodon

@rabbijill Maybe a house sparrow, they’re actually in the weaver family of birds and are notorious for building nests in vents.

@rabbijill no problem! We pulled a 6’ long nest out of a dryer vent once. Although I hate to destroy nests, this was a fire hazard! Also, house sparrows are very common in NA, a species introduced from Europe (I think?)

@kroltanz we did have a house sparrow build a nest in a dryer vent in our old house and it was a fire hazard too!
