I ran through a flock of birds this morning and hit one. When I got to work, I saw feathers sticking out of the grille and got a stick to pry the carcass out.
Much to my surprise, I found that the bird was quite alive and hopping around in the space between the grille and the radiator. There's no obvious opening between that space and the engine compartment, and the bird's too big to come back out the way it went in (without being accelerated to 60MPH anyway).
There also doesn't seem to be any obvious way to remove the center section of the grille.
So, am I stuck with a choice between spending a half day in the shop and a few hundred dollars, and letting this bird die over a period of days and waiting for its desiccated corpse to fall out?
