For the past couple of weeks, bird(s) have been pooping on my car almost every single day. On the same exact side of the car. Sometimes it is a lot of poop, sometimes a little. And it is always in the afternoon. And everyday, I have to wipe it off my car, only to find bird poop there the next day. In the same. Exact. Spot. I am soooooo PO'd beyond belief! Do these birds have something against me? Against my car? What did my car do to them?! Can't we all just get along?! If only I had a beebee gun . . . I am sick of birds having toilet target practice on my car. Unfortunately, I cannot avoid this. I do not have a garage and have to park in a particular reserved spot on the street. And the parking decal has to be visible in my car, otherwise my car will be towed. This precludes the use of a car cover. If someone invents a bird poop repellant for cars, I would be the first to buy it.

I have developed a few hypotheses to try to explain this ridiculous phenomenon:

1. The neighbor does not like my car, so he tells his pet parrot to do "Number 2" on it everyday.
2. Since my car is parked near a small tree, perhaps it acts as a bird magnet, so that when the bird decides to leave, it leaves a "special gift" on my car.
3. The most far fetched theory I can conjure is that my car sits underneath a common "bird path" in the sky, but the likelihood that poop ending up on the same exact spot on my car each day extends beyond my level of undrstanding.

They poop. On the same. Exact. Spot. Everyday. This is "driving" me nuts!

Well you park near a small tree. Last time I saw a car near a small tree, it was blanketed with bird poop.

I've always noticed, the day after I wash my car. A bird immediately poops on it. Apparently clean cars attracts bird poop.

simple. DO NOT park your car under/near a tree. I've never seen anybody go this mad about birds pooping on their car haha i dont even want to know how crazy you would go if you got a scratch on your car

but from the poll, i just let the rain wash it away.. its only bird poop..

[v8subie]

bird mini cooper is acidic. if you let it sit there on the paint for even a few days, the paint will be messed up. i suggest cleaning it off therefore i opted for #1. i would choose #4 also, but i can only cast one vote.

[coreansurfer]

i didn't vote because i don't do any of those, what works very well is to take a water soaked paper towel and just drop it on top of the poop come back in a few minutes and just wipe everything off

Bird poop on my car = off i go to 7-11 and get my lottery ticket.
























You never know. It might be poop of luck. haha

[aznsweetie143]

i have a theory
that birds aim for cars. :x
i never see bird poop on streets or sidewalks.

[GTB]

I park at an assigned spot, so I have no choice but to survey my car every day. I have not checked my car today yet, but I would bet that dookie is on there right now, waiting and laughing at me.

[ZiGeNX77]

I park in an uncovered assigned spot too, but rather with a large tree above my car that has these cursed red berries! I have these splatter marks like paintball splatter on it which stains my white paint. I hardly get any bird poo but when I do I just curse the birds. I used to wipe it off with a wet towel, but I don't care about my car as much as I used to.

[Madoki]

no dude my car been pooped on so much even though i don't park under anything at all. sometimes i think they are attracted to the color of my car. like its the color that tells the birds "hey come here! poop on me!" wlekrhjewlkrjslkdfj

[coreansurfer]

get a car cover end of your problems

[crav3s2k]

Its really bad for my especially when they crap on my soft top.

[kelvin6]

Supposedly seltzer water is the best for bird crap removal. Pick up a bottle from your grocery store and keep it in your car. Seltzer water is safe and doesn't require any rubbing to get it off. As far I was told.

[GTB]

Uhhh . . . you try it first and share the results with us

My previous car was a 1990 Maxima, and I stopped taking care of it once the engine started acting up (I was actually waiting for it to die so I could have an excuse to get a different car haha). A hail storm of bird dookie could have dropped on that car, and I could have cared less. Except for one time when I went away for school for several months, and returned during a semester break to see a pile of leaves on the roof of my car. I unwarily washed off the leaves, and my jaw almost dropped to the ground. The water had washed off the leaves . . . along with a good chunk of my paint. I was pissed x 1000000000000 . I then realized that while I was away from home, my family had allowed leaves and debris to accumulate for months on my car, and the leaves eventually adhered to the paint.

My new car is a couple of years old, so I still have an attachment towards it and try to keep the exterior clean.

yea i hate it... certain trees are a real killer to park under. i spent the night at my buddies and had my car covered in bird crap the next morning... and as hungover as i was.. i just left it there. luckily it rained very heavily on the drive back =)

[GTB]

Rain, rain, don't go away.
Come again to wash the poop today.

[☆원이☆]

my car gets pooped on all the time also.. lol..
but i keep my good cleaning supplies in the trunk

[GTB]

That is a good idea. I started doing that when I got my new car. In my trunk, I keep some soft rags and a detailer spray--they come in handy.

I decided to change the position of my car, facing it in the opposite direction in the hope that I might actually fool or confuse these evil birds with nasty diarrhea. And for a few weeks, my experiment seemed to be successful--my front driver-side door, along with the rest of my car, has been poop-free!

Until today.

I discovered dried bird dookie . . . on the rear driver-side door.
