Once upon a time a bird dropped its poo on my head as I was walking to the swimming pool.

Zooming along a 2 laner near Sacramento, with my wife and top down, a turkey vulture was enjoying some sushi raccoon out in front of me. He took off a little late (I assumed he would be clear) and decided to make a u turn and in a nano second we met. He pulled up as best he could, my wife screamed and surprisingly big bird up close hit on the top rail over the rear view mirror. He managed to keep flying but left a skid mark on the windshield. I actually thought the window cracked from the sound of the impact but it cleaned up later.

I left my roof down while at a car show, there aren't many birds at all, and went for a walk about knowing the guys at the stand would keep her safe.

They were also running a small AutoX course which I thought I would have a go... so I jumped in my car eager, turned on the engine, selected a gear and off I went. The steering wheel felt weird... the bird had managed to shit some dark stuff all over the wheel. My hands looked like I had given someone a rectal exam. Not pleasant!

Apply to a dry dog? What if you don't happen to have one of those handy? Can you rent one for the occasion? Won't PETA or the humane society folks take issue with this?
