The birds

Got their comeuppance

Old friend told me this... They had a air filtration system that sucked a lot of air(and dust) out of the factory

To save money during winter the air was re-circulated via the return fan and duct work so that the heat did'nt get away... and during the summer the vent was changed over to dump hot factory air outside and suck cool air in.

On this day, it had been in winter mode..... and then a bright spark says "Lets cool off a bit" , walked to the control panel and hit the change over switch.

And the the vent changed over.

We think the pigeons were roosting there because they had got used to the noise.

10 seconds after change over it began snowing inside........ then they noticed it was'nt snow.

So whenever you're scraping bird poop off electrical equipment/your windscreen...... that factory had revenge for you
