Eagled-eyed mechanics at Norfolk Constabulary's headquarters at Wymondham found the nesting blackbird four weeks ago in the wheel arch of a 4x4 patrol car.
After seeking advice from the constabulary's own wildlife liaison officers and the RSPB, workers will have to leave the nest undisturbed until the young birds have flown the coop - or they could be breaching wildlife conservation laws.
All wild birds, their nests and eggs are protected by law and it is an offence to intentionally take, damage or destroy the nest of any wild bird while it is in use or being built.
