From time to time some bird - or perhaps several - takes up
residence in a tree overhanging a concrete walkway, patio,
or driveway. Very quickly a good bit of white bird-poop
accumulates. I haven't found a good way to remove this from
concrete. The hose gets the top 50% or so, and a stiff
broom then gets maybe another 20%, but the last 30% or so
just stays and stays.

Anyone here found a good way to remove the residue after
modest hosing and brushing?

Thanks.

It would be much easier to just put diapers on the birds and you wont
have to clean anything on the concrete. Just be sure to change the
bird's diapers daily.

clean flawlessely, let dry completely

then apply thompsons oil basewd water seal very liberally.

like dump on with broom spread and leave puddle on surface to absorb
in for day.

it will darken the surface some but future cleran ups will be garden
hose easy.

the poop will no longer stick to the concrete.

Try keeping it wet. You can do that by old piece of cloth over the
spots you are trying to remove. Wet the cloth down and spray with a
household cleaner such as Mr. Clean, Simple Green or whatever. Keep it
wet and soaking for about an hour or two. Then remove rags and wash it
away. Repeat as necessary.

Hit it with a propane torch and a wire brush, at least thats how I get
paint off concrete, should work with crap too.

propane torch on concrete can explode, at least wear safety glasses.

Remove the branches or the entire tree. I have a lot of trees, and a
lot of birds, but all branches overhang lawn areas adding nutrients
and nitrogen to the soil.

Do you know what type of bird?

Packaged bird **** brings big $$$, depending on the bird. I can see why you
would be concerned not getting the last 30% off, that's a 30% loss.

To help identify the bird, carefully pick through the ****. If there's corn
in there, don't eat it.

That could mean it's a chicken - if so, eat the bird.
