How do you keep the birds inside the house when driving down the road?

That may not be quit as funny as is sounds.
Many years ago, I knew a naturalist who would tell people that some birds, especially Robins, become very attached to their nests. He swore that he knew of a Robin that nested and successfully raised a brood on the top of a school bus that made it's rounds every day.
I never believed his story, until one day, one of the guys at work came into my office and told me that he had just gone out to get something from his truck, and some "crazy Robin" flew out from under it, and attacked him. "That's odd" I told him, and went back to work.
He came back to my office at lunch time, to tell me that the "crazy Robin" had attacked him again. Now, I was curious, so I went out to the parking lot with him. Sure enough, the robin flew out from underneath and tried to chase us away.
I crawled under his truck, and there on the rear axle was a
robin' nest with three little blue eggs in it. We removed the nest from his truck, and secured it in a nearby shrub. That crazy bird watched us move her nest, and returned to it as soon as we backed away.
We never knew if she was actually riding back and forth to work with him, or if she just waited for him to arrive every day.
