Hi

Im as sick as parrot...Just been to dentist for check up and it is a pretty tight car park... Was quite happy as showed HC2 form so didnt pay for treatment then it got worse.
Coming out of dentists in car park, a baby wood pigeon was sat there, clearly thrown out of nest or injured, whatever it wouldnt move and i didnt want to pick it up.....It was just in my line of reverse route...So gets in car and all time looking in mirrors to avoid baby, the caught a flipping pillar and felt sick to stomach....On inspection it has taken off colour as its a colour coded bumper, plus scratched black trim....God only knows what it'll cost to repair, im thinking about £200 plus....
I havent done anything like this for over 10 years so really sick and my car aint a merc or nothing posh but its bodywork was good....

Elaine :-(x

    Hi Jelly

    So anoying and Im glad baby was okay, i think if you touch them then that makes the parents less likely to go back to them (heard that anyway), thats why i didnt pick the baby up.....

    Well done for avoiding the baby bird but such a shame about the car. Did you scrape the paint off and avoid a dent?

    HI Elizabeth

    No dent but bumper scraped and as its colour coded it shows up badly even though its no wider than my hand....Have been quoted £120 to get it rectified...
