ZEELAND TWP., Mich. (WZZM)- A Zeeland Township man will be hitching a ride with his wife for the next month because of a bird.

Bob Baldus says he parked his truck in his driveway last Friday. A day later he spotted the makings of a nest inside his tire well. Baldus says it all happened so fast that he couldn't believe a bird was behind it.

"We thought somebody was playing a joke. We have kids for neighbors. All of a sudden, we looked again Sunday, then Monday and it kept getting bigger and bigger," says Baldus.

He says the nest is being made by a robin and he has no plans to drive until the birds hatch.
