Title: Why do birds use my car for target practice?
Post by wolfblood on Aug 25^th, 2009, 4:19pm

Am I the only one this happens to?

I have a telegraph pole outside my house and on a normal day no bird muck is anywhere on the tarmac.

But if I park beside it you can guarantee my car will be speckled by the feathered rodents in the morning.

I wouldn't mind so much if the birds roosted there normally but they don't or the floor would be plastered when the car is not there.

Birds sit on the telegraph wire, hot air from your car rises and they get comfy, they settle in for the night and just before they nod off....... ;D

I park my car under a telegragh pole, and i have to say that when i used have an astra estate the birds used the car as a toilet, every day it was covered in droppings. But since iv'e had the scorpio there has not been a lot of dirty business, just a little. Maybe the pidgeons have something against Vauxhalls....

The 'Kent' crowd don't seem to have this problem as Taliban (AKA CB2 ) keeps them all at his house!! ;D.

I don't think they are referring to that type of bird ;D

If you'd ever seen his car covered in bird ..... you'd know it definitely WAS the feathered type. Probably low flying seagulls!. ::)

It's gonna be worse than normal tonight. Thanks to people thinking their superminis need the same space as a normal car I've had to park under the tree.

For once I will be wishing for rain tonight.

Blue cars suffer most as they perceive it to be a small stretch of water....
