My "stuck animal" story involves a grackle, IIRC. I was replacing the
gas water heater and in reconnecting the 4" exhaust pipe I discovered
the very dead grackle inside it. Now a grackle is a pretty large bird
and 4" isn't a very large pipe. It scared me to think how close we'd
come to having that pipe blocked and fumes coming into the house.

Wow!! You hear about someone dying that way almost every winter season.
