Lovely! Thats one of the reasons I put in z06 screens when I installed the
Vararam. Keeps the big chunks, (including birds) out.

I would like our resident forum engineers to try to convince this bird there is no such thing as ram air. Doesn't' that birdy know he can not fly up one of those holes due to it being a low pressure area!!!!!
