active grille shutter blockage
I had a bird try that above the trans cooler on the driver's side of the radiator last week. I really missed having the grille being part of the hood when I was cleaning it out. There is some straw stuck in there still that I can't get to.
It was probably a full afternoon. I noticed it at 7 am at the grocery store when I was walking back to my truck and it wasn't there when I had gotten home the day before around lunch. There is a mating pair of tiny little birds that have tried to make a nest in my gutter, garage, trash cans, and now my truck. I generally let animals do what they want if I can help it, but I didn't think this was a safe place for a nest so I pulled everything out. It was at least 7-10 handfuls of stuff in there.
