I had my 911 parked in my garage, under the car cover, and a damn bird flew in, crapped on the 911 in numerous spots before I could get it out of there.

I had to throw the car cover in the washer to get it clean.

Maybe it was a flock of swooping pooping falcons.

Years ago I had a dark blue Chevy Monte Carlo.
Parked next to a friend's light blue Camaro for a few days while at a camp.

Lotsa cars there. My dark blue car was covered in bird poop, the lighter Camaro had a few major splats, the rest of the cars stayed clean.

Must be something about blue.

Was it a 1977 Monte Carlo in Laxative Blue?

I live between the bay, a lake and a canal... Every dusk I hear the geese returning to the lake from the bay.. and their flight path is right over my house..

My vehicles get carpet bombed often, especially after a wash and detail..

If I'm outside when I hear the geese honking on the way home, means its time to find cover.

Geese can be mean.

Apparently they like the blue because they think it is water.

Im at war with the ones at my home . They built a nest in my garage, **** all over the 930, and 911, then dropped a warm one right down the side of my face a few weeks back .
I caught the bird in a fishing net, took it out of the air like babe ruth, and relocated it and its nest back in the woods .

When I was a little boy at school and eating my lunch on the seats outside, a seagull tried to take my lunch. i managed to fight him off then he did another divebomb and crapped on my food

Poor little me, I was only about five at the time

I remember thinking the trailer for Brewster McCloud (1970) was awesome.

Awhile back, I walked out one morning and some bird had shat all over my truck. You can see it started about 10 to 15 feet in front of my truck. The funny thing is, he got the front windshield and the back window. How does a bird flying in one direction, shat in two different directions???

Joke for you:

What do you do if a bird craps on your car's hood?

Just don't take her out again.

One time we went shopping in Astoria NY. Hot sunny afternoon. I was surprised to find a parking spot under a tree in the shade. I though I had it made. When we got back to the car to come home my car was covered, I mean covered with bird poop. couldn't see out the windshield or the rear window. Had to go buy paper towels, windex and a bottle of water to clean it off. It was disgusting!
I guess there was a reason the spot was empty.
