I've noticed that for the past 2 months that my S2000 has $hit on it every day. I park it in the same place and it never fails. I am constantly wiping my car down because of this. Since it's winter and cloudly, I don't have to worry about the shit staining my car, but when it gets hot I will be worried. So I was wondering if birds have daily flight patterns and maybe that can explain why my car is constantly being $hitted on.

BTW, I don't park near any trees and I never see birds flying over head in groups. But the incident always happens during the day while I am away for work.

What do you guys think?

 

They always look for the shiny ones....

 

There was an article about how birds rather follow roads than fly in a straight line because don't want to get lost.

i feel bad for ya man...

 

humm. well if they follow a pattern going home, then that means that they must use my apartment complex as a marker and make a turn when they get to my apartment. Making that turn stresses their internals, which in turn causes them to poop. Thereby dropping the poop on my car.

Meaning that I just need to move the car from my apartment complex to eliminate the possibility of being pooped on again. I'll let you guys know how my "move" goes.

 

don't owls scare birds away? i always see plastic owls on top of buildings. look for a BIG one and stick it on a post. hehe.

 

My '00 civic Si used to get crapped on all the time. Wouldn't fail, I'd come out from class, and mine would be the only car in the parking lot covered in shit. I think it had something to do with the colour (electron blue pearl) - stuck out like crazy. It was like the damn birds aimed for it!

 

damn, that means that the birds have good aiming...

 

Yea, they have to crap before the get to the car... then they have to know how fast they are traveling and how far up they are to compensate for crapping at the correct time to hit your car. Now that I think about it, there is a turn about 100 yards away from my car. Maybe the crap comes from birds making that turn and the crap shoots 100 yards from the turn and hits my car.

 

are you sure it is bird poop ? or could it just be a disgruntled co-worker
