Talk to this guy I heard he has good aim.

thanks for the suggestions. Is it okay to leave it on the car for a while without it damaging my paint? Its in the teens where I am and I can't easily remove it without scratching the finish.

If you get a pellet gun a shoot a few of them, birds will disappear from the area.


It works surprisingly well. It is like they communicate with each other to stay away from that area.

Some bird crap (sea gulls and anything that eats berries for example) can be incredibly acidic and can stain very quickly. That stuff will also chew through wax like it isn't there. The cold will slow it down a bit but I would still get it off as quick as possible.

Birds love shitting on my car too.

Before I had my FR-S, I had a skunk that absolutely loved to hangout underneath my car every evening without fail. This thing terrorized me. Literally every evening it would be there. I'd have to approach my car very cautiously, hissing, often jumping on the top of the car and giving it a good shake to make sure the skunk wasn't hiding anywhere.

I decided there was no way I could continue living life like this. The skunk had to die. Blasting it with a handgun seemed like the best option, but I was within city limits.

One evening, I came up with the brilliant idea of buying laxative chocolates and sprinkling them all around my car. Sure enough, the skunk came that evening and ate a bar big enough to give an elephant diarrhea.

The story ended well, the skunk went back into it's hole that evening and never returned. I'm guessing the rat bastard shat himself inside out and drowned in a pile of his own shit, deep in his lair.

Victory was mine!!!

Yeah, I would want to get that off as soon as possible. I carry a spray bottle of quick detailer and a microfiber in my car, and spray bird droppings down and gently pull them off and rinse ASAP, but I don't know how doable that is in your situation, if your car get's literally covered. I guess I would get it washed ASAP and put on an extra layer of sealant. Maybe a sealant like Optiseal, and a good wax on top of that? That might help protect the paint if bird droppings are unavoidable and you can't get them off quickly.

Time for a 2 inch drop and never have a skunk under your car again!
