way to prevent birds from pooping on car
So my brz stays in an open parking lot at my apartment complex, and every day, without fail, birds poop all over my car. Like all over it.
I've heard several ways to discourage them from doing this, such as placing a fake owl near your car or plastic snakes on the ground near it. Has anyone tried this and had success? Or have any other suggestions? |
In my driveway, there's a tree where birds all meet up and have a big conference about which car parked under the tree that they'll all shit on.
Look around, I bet there's a certain tree they all roost on, and your car is parked in their landing/takeoff/poop zone. Try parking somewhere different. |

I have, doesn't make a difference. There are no trees very close to my spot, probably as far away from the trees as I can park. |

I got a crazy guy living around my neighborhood who takes the garbage from a school and feeds the birds with it. In doing so, all the seagulls, pigeons, crows, etc. crap all over the cars parked in the area every day!
The guy is pretty sick in the head. I saw him admiring my car one morning when it got all crapped on as if he was proud of the property damage he caused. After the cops talked to this whacko today, hopefully he'll move on elsewhere. |
Plastic owls, snakes, noise emitters, magical ultra sonic scare devices, etc do nothing. Airports and military air bases have been trying to keep birds away for a 100 years now with no true success.
There has to be a reason why they hang out where they do. Just figure out where they don't crap and park there! |

I came out of a store the other day to find one of these guys standing squarely in the middle of my hood.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...rida_Keys2.jpg I panicked, sure he was about to take a big wet nasty duece on my clean and shiney ride. I said, "Hey weirdo what the heck?!" He gave me a look of indifference and hopped down onto the ground ever-so nonchalantly. Good news is he didn't crap on my car, and didn't leave any scratches. I really do enjoy watching birds, and this part of Florida has TONS, but that's another topic entirely. |

Perhaps you should try a life sized snowy egret hood ornament! :D It would have the added advantage of being the most unique FR-S/BRZ on the road! |

You could just make some cash and walk away without any egrets! |
Don't drive your car in the open. I use my subterranian highway system. Now I should start a thread on "How to prevent bats pooping on your car"

Used to commute down a country road with hollow trees full of bats on each side. If traveling at dawn or dusk you were almost guaranteed to hit at least one as they would chase the insects into your headlights. They make a horrid noise when they splatter on the windshield and are a bitch to get out of your grill! |

epic hood ornament FTW! or maybe instead of the shark fin you can put it there!? |

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. |

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!!! |
Reminds me of this:

I love the times your driving the car home from work thinking its all pristine and all the while there's bird shit all over your trunk and bumper for all to see on your commute.

Real weird. It looks at its reflection in cars and hangs out. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk |
Back in my old apartment there was a massive tree where all the birds would hang out and riddle my shiny black car with poop.
I went to the dollar store and bought 2 snakes after reading that it sometimes scares off the birds. I placed one on my windshield and by the tree to see what that would do. My neighbors probably thought I was some retard with these toys, and the one by the tree disappeared in like a week lol. I honestly think it scared them off. I didn't hear birds chirp in the mornings anymore and I didn't see birds around the area. P.S. I'm not joking: http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/c...psv4ls3mqk.jpg |

That's funny. Could've used that technique at my last apartment, damn birds woke me up every morning. |
have you ever tried to hit one with your car. I tried to run over a crow with my old pick up truck and they would shit on it all the time after that.
they also knew never to stay on the road when they saw me coming either. |

Could go the Bond route...

Set a plate of scrambled eggs where the birds can see them. Show them this shiz is serious.

Alrighty, so ill be that engineer that says hook a battery up to everything! Automatic fried seagull and pigeon. Might need some seasoning though.
But seriously, practice your skeet shooting. |

Poop in their nests.
