Could have been worse. Count yourself lucky that they weren't pelicans.

Oh my goodness. If I ever had to deal with Pelicans and a top down issue I'd be making a species endangered. I've yet to have a bird poo+top down issue yet to include my previous Z3.

There is an old ditty about this.

I watched a bird up in the sky,
he dropped a message from the sky,
and as I wipe it from my eye,
I thank the lord that cows can't fly.

I parked the S in front of the house, top down for about 20 minutes before putting it away one time.
It took about 15 minutes to clean the poo out of the stitching of the passengers seat. Never again.

My worst bird experience was hitting an Ibis with a formula 1 Brabham Repco one day.

It flew across the track, where I was doing over 130 MPH. It hit the right front upper wishbone, in an explosion of feathers.
It bounced up a bit & smashed through the wraparound Perspex windscreen/wind deflector, [part of the body work really].
From there it hit the top of my helmet, bashing it back against the roll over bar behind my head, cracking it right down the back.
From there quite a bit of what was left disappeared down the air scoop, & splattered itself all over the valley of the V8, & the top mounted multi tube extractor exhaust system.

Probably the worst thing was the smell of cooked ibis. No amount of scrubbing could get rid of it.
Every time the thing was started, for about the next 3 months we were greeted by that stink of burning bird & feathers.
