Car colors that birds like to poop on?
 
Apparently there was a study done in the UK to find out what color birds like to poop on. They got 140 cars in several different cities and found that
18% of red cars had bird poop on them,
14% blue
11% black
7% white
3% silver/grey
1% green

Make any of you rethink your color choice for the FRS/BRZ?:lol:

I don't believe this. When I had a white car I was cleaning bird shit off every other day. With my blue civic, I honestly can't remember the last time a bird took a shit on my car. All depends on where you live and work. If you are good there, bird shit should be minimal.

Birds like to poop on shiny cars I find. If it's dull they won't poop on it.. Everytime I wax my car and park outside. A bird poops on it.. I wipe it off.. Poops on it again...


I park outside all the time in the same spot and birds never crap on my car, only when I wax it...

And this was happening throughout the week until I left the car dirty and dull.

I've had my white pearl BRZ for two weeks now and two bird poops already! Don't remember my last car (black) ever get bird droppings...

I think it all depends on where you park.

I think it all depends how shitty the cars are.

If you park under a tree or power/telephone wire, your car is bound to be pooped on, it's like you're asking for it! Just find undercover and park somewhere safe, or if you absolutely can't, find an open area to park.

Oh, and if it does get on your paint... wipe that shit off ASAP as it would damage your paint if you leave it on for too long! (No pun intended)

my car is graphite gray and it always gets pooped on compared to my previous white, blue and black.
