This absolutely is a true problem that I have and desperately need
help. I park my car off-street (no garage) as parking is very limited in our area. SInce spring began, the local birds have been using my side view mirrors as toilets. Each day when I go to work, I find that about half of each door beneath the mirror is absolutely caked in white bird poop (stands out very much on my navy-blue car). I mean it's absolutely caked on! As if two dozen birds had moved their bowels in that same spot! The birds actually sit on the mirror, and poop onto the cardoor. The rest of the car is untouched. Today I actually caught one bird sitting on the side-mirror taking a dump onto the car! I know this is funny, but going to the car-wash before work every morning (sometimes twice a day) is becoming expensive not to mention time-consuming. I've parked the car here for years and never had this problem until this year. Any idea what is up and how to keep the birds away??? |

Go to a home supply store and buy a few of those plastic things that people stick on roofs to keep birds from sitting on them. Work up a quick gizmo to attach them to the mirrors. All done! Or, put some plastic wrap on the door. |

What is happening is that it's spring and males are fighting other males for the available females. Sounds silly until I watched this little sparrow looking guy beat the sh!t out of my side vewe mirrors as he attempted to drive off the bird in the mirror. I laughed my arse off and then went and got an old pair of socks and put them on the mirrors. Next day the neighbor had bird do-do all over his truck! Just get something to cover the mirrors while your parked in the area the birds happen to be self-attacking and you'll be fine. Djay |

In a town near me a bunch of turkey vultures have taken to roosting in trees over the street. They not only poop all over the cars below but they have taken to eating rubber gaskets (around the windows) and the like on the cars which makes them ill and they then barf all over the cars too. Buzzard poop and barf...a double edged sword ![]() -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ....a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.
