My Trophy is a bird magnet!

[__CA__]

But not in a good way.

Twice this week I've walked out to the car after work to find it CAKED in bird sh1t, like they've been using it for target practice or something. :evil:

It's only started happening since we've all been forced to park at the (usually empty) other end of the car park... I wonder if the birds feel that their territory is under attack? It wasn't even parked under a tree, and they seem to have deliberately picked on it amongst the dull ranks of company cars. Something about small red cars maybe? :?: I wondered if the alarm had been going off but it didn't beep when I unlocked it.

My neighbours must think I have OCD since I've given 036 an impromptu wash in the dark after each 'attack'

I used to have a black ford and that never got any attention from the birds. I find the clio is attacked a minimum of twice a week where ever it is! Must be the colour?

I had a simular thing with mine this time last year and it was a robin who liked the shinny clio and just used to fly into the windows and crap on it too!

so watch out as spring comes along :wink:

 

[homerweena]

Yup, same here - and usually the night after I've washed the car!

 

[Drew196]

Worst car I've ever had for avian attack - pesky Wood Pigeon even had a go while I was washing it on Saturday - had to start again!!

I must confess that my experience (limited as it may be to a couple of months) has been bird poo free However, I will now probably return home to find a cow has flown over and taken a pot shot... :shock:

Birds target shiny cars on purpose. I just *love* picking it out of a soft top on a sunday morning

Birds target shiny cars on purpose.

They do indeed, they see the reflection and relieve themselves thinking it's water under them. I heard this ages ago, but I truely can't see many birds having a social consience. Anyone know someone with a car with a matt finish that doesn't get shat on?

 

[FunkyMunky]

for some reason flies get very attracted to my girlfriends Liquid Yellow :roll:

 

[oliie]

Flies are attracted by yellow... all the sticky flypaper is always sold in yellow! At least the bonnet is OK!

O.

 

[Bunta]

Maybe the birds think yours is the best car in the car park?

My old pug was the exact colour of bird-poo, if you gathered up all the bird poo in the world and mixed it up in a big bowl, it would be the colour of my old pug, got shat on about twice a year, got the Trophy and realised why 'blunderbus with box of lead-shot' was on the options list. I cleaned my car within an inch of it's life last week, took two hours, I just finished chamoising it off and stood back to have a swig of tea and admire my work, splat!
