Info somewhat related to the story: Mice are my nemesis. They have tortured this country girl as long as I can remember. They ate my Easter candy, they ruined my sweater, they ran across my bare feet, and certainly the most damaging, my brother ran after me while holding dead mice by their tails. It's a real shocker why I dislike them so.
So back to the dryer. Brad turned it on hoping to scare what ever it was, out the way it had come in. All we heard was a loud clank and then silence. Brad pulled out the dryer while I stood on the toilet letting out squeals of paranoia every 20 seconds (it would know I didn't have socks on and run for my feet!) He took out the ducting hose and found a poor little dead bird missing a head. We had killed it when Brad turned on the dryer (we didn't know it would cut the poor things head off!)and for the record we felt really bad (some more then others)and super grossed out (some more then others). Who wants to dry their clean clothes where a bird was brutally murdered? After a lot of Clorox wipes we felt a little better (some more then others). So let that be a lesson to you on this sixth day of April two thousand and ten. Do not, under any circumstance, turn on your dryer to scare creatures out. It won't end pretty.
Have you ever killed a woodland creature via your dryer? The bird goes on my list of a rabbit, a raccoon, and a baby deer :(
P.S. The way I worded the above paragraph, I feel inclined to stress the dryer wasn't involved in any of the other incidents. Cause that would be weird. I mean, killing one animal in your dryer is one thing....but four animals would definitely be considered a problem.

A bird got stuck in the dryer duct at our condo too! Only Rob opened up the duct and the bird flew out and he chased it around with a broom while I ALMOST DIED LAUGHING. I think I might have peed my pants a little. I screamed a couple times too when the bird came flying at me.
It's funny that you posted this because I was thinking about it the other day. Do you still have the video coverage?
Em, we don't have the video anymore. I wish I did though! I think we taped over it.
Ali, that's so funny it happened to you guys too! It wouldn't surprise me if something wasn't up to code on the roof and it still happens.
That's a funny story! I would've been freaking out too! I've never had a bird or any animal in my dryer but there once was a live mouse in my washing machine. That scared me soooo bad!
Tahnie you make me laugh so hard!
