What vents? By the Windsheild? I think that there are just a few screws.
Why are there birds in your vents?

ok this is a first! I have heard of field mice and such, but birds? and to get to the vents that requires pulling almost the whole dash off, or a small camera that you can see into the vents and pull the debris out. it can be tough cause of the shape of the vents...

That is too funny! If it's dry, try to get it into pieces and vacuum it out.
