How do i stop birds shitting on my car?

[Maggot]

Ever since I've had my car (kindly given to me by Ngeru and LDR), I've noticed lots of bird shit on the drivers door. Every time i clean it off there's more the next day. I've seen birds (or possibly 1 bird) sitting on the wing mirror and shitting. I just need to keep them off the wing mirror. Strangely they're not attracted to any other part of the car.

Stop putting worms down your wing mirror?

 

[marty21]

[Kanda]

Remove the wing mirror.

mediation.

you need to talk it over with them to resolve your differences.

(dont use a cat as a mediator, it might intimidate the other party)

stck somespikes on it

My mum has one of these on her garage to keep the seagulls away. Seems to work, even though one of the wings has broken, making it look a bit ill.

Yesyes, that's it! Cover it in spikes.

Or - don't park under a tree.

Or - buy an inflatible garage and park your car in that. Then when the birds shit on it, it'll bounce back at them. Haha.

i get a lot of purple bird poop on my car when i park in my street sometimes, the birds eat some sort of berry that shit it all out on all the cars in the street

What species?

 

[Dillinger4]

Stop feeding them laxatives.

 

[mrsfran]

Stick a sock over the wing mirror when the car isn't in use. The shit'll go on that and you can wash it off.

 

[Maggot]

What species?

it's a blackbird.

Thanks for all the helpful, and less than helpful, replies.

This is a problem. One has done a 'Bobby Sands' on my motor this week and it looks worse cos my car's black

 

[GarfieldLeChat]

what' colour is it birds seem to love shitting on black yellow or red cars no idea why byt every time they are far more indulgent than on other colours...

I'd put some contact adhesive on the top of the mirror then drive the fucker about 30 miles away and then unstick it...

that'll learn it...

Smear Vaseline on the wing mirror. It will be too slippery and the bird will keep falling off.

 

[Yetman]

Stop parking next to Essex nightclubs that serve 2 for 1 alcopops all night

 

[Firky]

remove the wing mirrors

 

[mattie]

Park the car upside down.

That'll keep the crap off the panels.

Cheers!

We find the birds crap more on our car if we park it under a tree... so...

 

[Firky]

Cut down the tree, I can lend you a chainsaw

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Build a carport?

 

[geminisnake]

My pal used to put a plastic bag over her wing mirror to stop birds landing on it and pooing down her door. Missfran's sock idea might work just as well, but a placcy bag would be slidier imo.
