My car attracts way too much bird poo.

I got my car 2 days ago and I swear that a flock of birds flies over it everytime I park it somewhere. I'm sure it's purely coincidental, but could it be that they are attracted to the polished titanium color?

You aint seen NOTHING!

I went to a performance shop awhile ago and when I came out and got in my car, I noticed something on the sunroof/sidewindows. I figured someone threw something liquid at my car. So I haul azz straight home to wipe it off. When I got out, there was 20-30 PILES of white/brown/yellow F-ing disgussssting bird sheit on my car. About a hour later and a complete bottle of Quick Detailer and I had it off.

So, I'm wondering how in the heck did I get so much bird sheit in the 15-mins. I was in that shop. One day as I'm driving by the shop, I see there must have been a couple HUNDRED pigeons sitting on the power lines behind the shop. Someone/something must have spooked those flying rats with feathers to make them F-ing carpet bomb my car like that.

Needless to say, I've never gone back to that shop.

I hate those dam birds. I walked outside to my car the other day and a bird was just sitting on my roof. So I keep walking towards it, careful not to make sudden movements to scare the thing into shi*ing on maxi... As soon as I get 5 feet from the car, the bird flies off, leaving behind a nice new pile... The lil bastard shat on my car in front of my face

I got grey lustre and it ain't pretty. Dark objects attract birds ( ) Yesterday I got 5 shots on my max AND MY MOMS SUBARU NONE ( ) (it's a white car).

Pigeons are just sky rats.

The only good pigeon is a dead pigeon.

No sheit...what the *** is up with the bugs lately? Man are they bad!

I drove up to Vegas and back and my car is INSANELY covered in bugs. I get SOOOOooo many double takes from people trying to figure out what the hell is all over my car. I can BARELY see out my windshield. I'm going back tomorrow, so no way in hell I'm washing it. Boy are they hard and sometimes impossible to get off.

I'll take some pics later.

Yeah definetly take some pics of it, this I got to see. You should have seen the windsheild on the Denali coming back from LA like a month ago. I was lookin around for the small spots left to see through while driving. By the time I got back, it looked like I hit a 4ft wide fly and got its **** all over the place. I just too it to a car wash the next day. No way in hell im touching that **** (and this is coming from a guy that works on cars! )

Anyone here live down in the FL area where the love bugs roam? Ever seen a swarm of them? They would leave your car a different color!

You see, I think of pigeons as bum chicken. We should give the homeless some big nets and a mini BBq grill and then they can cook up some bum chicken. That way that's two problems solved: homeless hunger and filthy pigeon shizer on our Maxes. Can I get an Amen!!

I had a red car before and I swear to God it was a phat target for the pigeons. I had at least 3 spots a day where they would crap. I got fed up with it and just stopped washing the car. Glad it wasn't a Maxima,

Now it works. You'd be surprised at what mine looks like at the end of the week. About 5 pigeon bombs, maybe more if it's a very nice week.

I think I should not feel so bad ... at least those damn pigeons didn't pooped on the front driver side door ... instead they did it to my rear passenger side door. I would not have noticed until my neighbor told me that I got bombed!

Yeah I think birds like silver cars because my friend Andrea says that every time she finishes washing her car, she finds bird diarrhea all over it later in the day. She's got a silver Grand Am.
My car is black and I since I've owned it, (over a year now) I've only had 2 incidents with bird poo.
