Birds Hatch on Sold Truck at Dealership, Triggering Federal No-Touch Protections
Baby robins hatched in the truck bed, leaving the sold F-250 parked until the federally protected nest is empty.
- A sold F-250 at Olathe Ford Lincoln in Kansas cannot leave the lot after a robin built a nest on the vehicle's tire, trapping the new owner's purchase in a federally protected no-touch zone.
- Because robin nests are federally protected, the dealership cannot move the truck or disturb the nest until baby birds hatch and fledge, leaving the new owner waiting indefinitely for delivery.
- Random animal encounters have become almost normal at the dealership, worker Sammi Dodson noted, marking a pattern of nature disrupting operations rather than an isolated incident.
- Just today, employees discovered a mama possum with seven baby possums under the hood of a car brought in for an oil change, adding to the dealership's growing animal encounters.
- The staff jokes that they are now an animal rescue, having previously found cats in vehicles with one employee adopting a cat discovered on the lot.
