Birds' nest found inside aircraft's wheel housing

| Latest Auckland News | Friday October 26 2012 14:20

A birds nest, complete with eggs, has been found in the wheel housing of a jet aircraft that's arrived from the United States.

The Boeing 737 arrived in Auckland last week from Arizona, to be dismantled.

Ministry for Primary Industries team leader, Steve Gay, says a quarantine inspector found the nest among other debris after being alerted by engineers working on the plane.

He says the nest, made from mud, feathers and straw, contained four eggs - two which had hatched.

The bird species hasn't been identified.
