Just thought we'd do something abaht ye olde Suprima 80 (Lockouts R us)
boiler.

Ordered up a CETLED PCB and fitted same. Thought we'd clean all the
usual detritus out from the bottom inside case and apart from all the
usual wasps and other bits there was a Mouse tail;!..

Further investigation revealed the rest of mousy wedged beside the case
and heat exchanger still intact with a rather pained looking grin on
his/her face!..

So it climbed some 10 feet up a fairly smooth brick wall and out to the
end of the balanced flue and in and then down not able to get back out..

Poor little sod .. what a way to go;(..

Sounds like it was experiencing lock-ins rather than lock-outs! g

I found one inside a fusebox once, I assume it electrocuted itself!

I found one inside the front panel of a cooker I bought second hand.

One, for several weeks there was a Bad Smell. I couldn't find it at all.
Then I grabbed my heavy camera case off the floor to go to a motor race,
and there was one, underneath.

The family had a small beach cottage (a bach in NZ parlance) at a remote
location. No electricity, but with a wood-burning stove. There was a time when
it wasn't visited for a couple of years. On entering the place we were struck
by the great number of dead blowflies littering all the window sills. Looking
in the stove fire-box we found it was stuffed with the dessicated remains of
birds, just bones and feathers. There must have been about 50. They'd come
down the chimney (a steel tube), presumably thinking it was a good place for a
nest, and been unable to get up again. The chimney cap had rusted and fallen
off. The whole place was a bird (and fly) trap.

Needless to say I repaired the chimney to make it impossible for birds to get in.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Gib Bogle
saying something like:

A couple of years ago I was just about to fire up the oil burner when I
heard a scritching noise from the flue. I took off the bottom inspection
panel and there was a jackdaw a bit the worse for wear, but glad to be
free.
