*RANT* Bird Poop
Everyday I come out to my car after work, there is F**king bird poop all over it...and not just little nuggets, but big black tar like bombs that apparently explode upon impact and splatter little drops all over...It doesn't seem to matter where I park on the lot, they seem to track my car down and open fire...I see cars parked else where on the same lot and I don't see the same kind of carnage unleashed on them...wtf, I spend 20-30 min everyday cleaning poop..ugh!
Is it the Mag Red color or maybe it's too shiny for them or are they just jealous?
I need answers, because I'm ready to hire someone to stand watch over my baby and take down these demons with a pellet gun

Unfortunately, our parking lot has a lot of trees, with most planted at the aisle ends where I usually park to keep away from other cars and shopping carts. I thought about cutting down the trees, but my landlord would less than thrilled.
I also thought about buying a car cover, but then I would just be cleaning the cover every day.
Maybe I should offer up bird food mixed with a diarrhea medicine

Yeah, I may just get a cover. Once the weather warms up, I'll probably ride my motorcycle which I park up against my store under the buildings overhang...I read somewhere about birds pooping on surfaces that have a reflection because they think it is another bird...guess my car IS too shiny...or I need to train my car to do this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ii7-q7DWdQ

I do think some colors attract the birds more than others. A car cover would be a good idea, but remember that putting one on over a car that has road dust on it can lead to scratches in the paint - and on mag red that will show up quickly.
