May 20 (UPI) — A Ford F-250 sold by a Kansas dealership is remaining at the facility for the time being due to a robin’s nest on the pickup truck’s tire.
The Olathe Ford Lincoln dealership revealed on social media that an employee recently noticed a mother robin building her nest right atop one of the truck’s tires.
“Over the next few days, she laid four beautiful blue eggs, and today, those eggs officially hatched,” the dealership said. “The proud parents are now keeping a very close eye on their new babies as they begin their journey toward taking flight.”
The dealership said it is unable to move the family, as active robin’s nests are federally protected.
“This may be the only F-250 in America currently protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act,” the post said.
Officials wrote that the customers who purchased the truck have been understanding about the wait for their new vehicle.
“We want to give a huge THANK YOU to our incredibly kind and understanding customers, who have been so patient and thoughtful while we wait for these little ones to grow up and leave the nest safely,” the dealership said.
