Nobody remembers the guy coughing behind you until a few days later. At 2 a.m., you wake up with the fever and your throats on fire. Now what? Urgent care, clothes, ER, slam, telehealth, maybe, but the pharmacy's clothes. You needed a medical emergency kit. These aren't first aid kits.

Welcome to the Rimmaphal.

Morning, gentlemen. The room has a bird got stuck behind the grill of a medium-sized SUV after a driver hit a flock in the air near one regional city. With warning lights on his dash, the only kept driving, making it all the way to the city with a bird still happily enjoying his new found home. Some four hours away. While we were loading our shopping, the chirping bird was found. Assistance was offered to pull apart the engine bay of the car parked on us. After several bites, the feathered traveler was freed and fly away, never to be seen again. And photographic evidence supplied by of the bird trapped behind the grill of the car, where it sat for four hours. It's a great picture. It's a great picture. It is a bit like the famous Woody Allen sketch. Car Moose once. I once shot a moose and he ties it to the front of his car to bring it back into New York City. That's a great photo. This morning, Hello, Cokie. Told us that a bird got stuck

behind the grill of a medium-sized SUV after a driver hit a flock in the air near one regional city. Sam, the SUV driver. Sam, tell us about hitting the flock, I guess, for the first of all. Yes, well, driving from Hornable, I drove through a big flock of cockatoules, galas, whatever they're called. And as I did, I thought everything was okay. And probably about 40 odd minutes later, my alarm in my car started to go off that I, there was a sensor. So I pulled over, had a look, and yeah, I had bought a bird with me all the way. What about Tom? The riverfile said four hours. Did you say 45 minutes? Four hours was my travel time. Yeah. And then the actual sensor went off 40 minutes after it all happened. Is that the sort of sensor in your car that tells you you're getting close

to the car in front? Well, I don't know whether it's that or whether there was something in the grill of the actual car. So my actual camera, the bird had knit at the wire and totally destroyed that. So probably in fright, the poor thing. So Sam, of course, we know the cockies can talk. When you let the cocky out of the grill, what did it say to you? Probably thank you. And then it flew off the poor thing. It was quite chubby of a bird. So thinking how to bit a weight behind it, which was fantastic. But yeah, it was the poor thing. I felt so bad that it had been in there for so long. And flew off. How did it actually get in there? We think along the bottom of the grill, the black little plastic bits were snapped. So we think, as I've gone through the flock of birds, it's actually smashed into it and broken it. And it's

actually pushed in to the grill and gone through. So yeah, we looked for ages of how it would have actually got. And the gentleman that helped was very, very helpful. And yeah, he wouldn't give up and kept on to this thing of trying to get the bird out of my car, which was brilliant. And yeah, finally, the poor little thing was able to be speed and off it flew. So yeah, still well and truly alive. And yeah, it was good in the end. So it was great outcome. Proper legend that his name was Mark. Sam. Okay. Yeah, good on you. Sam, thank you a couple of bottles at the border. These ancient soils. Heath could grin, Nash. Maybe Toyota couldn't release upcoming the Toyota galah. Dave Roberts here.
