Ever wonder what bird sh*t on your windshield @ 75mph would look like?

I'd say just about like this:






To top it off I was out of windshield wiper fluid, which I had put off filling up because I havent been driving the car much. Iwas kinda running late for work and didnt have time to stop and clean it off, so I got to look at it for 1/2 hour. :sqntfawk: :o

I hate all birds with a passion. I have so many spots on my cars from bird shit its sickening. :'(

Yes bird poo really sucks. I had the hood on my Explorer painted a few weeks ago. 3 days later a bird hit it when I was at work. It sat all day in the sun like that. I saw it after work cleaned it off but it was too late it ate through the clear coat. At least it's a small spot.

I've nearly hit a hawk one day as it was too big and slow...
I do remember hiting a bird with my truck, really funny looking at the new paint scheme.

I was driving early one morning to school near a pond. I was late and was going exceedingly fast around a hard right curve, probably doing about 65 or so on this 2 lane road through an office park. I was tired, it's dark outside.

All of a sudden, a huge god damn goose flies into the windshield of my 92 Legend. I about shit a brick. Imagine you're driving and a giant goose just hits you. I can't believe it didn't die. Talk about a wake up call for sure

I moved to avoid the bird, this is when I realized I need some suspension upgrades.

I hit a small bird yesterday but didn't kill it. It was a little depressing because most of the birds that shit on my car are pigeons, crows, or sea gulls! as I hit the bird it rolled over the hood and I saw it flapping on the ground in the rearview. I later drove by the same road and I didn't see any dead bird so not sure what happened to it. Fortunately I hadn't been going that fast.

As far as the original post, I had a bird shit on my winshield the other day while driving and let me tell you it was nasty. This bird had had way too much to eat! the shit was on the hood and windshield.

One time I was driving around with my sunroof open and a bird shit right over the top of the windshield and the roofline on the driver's side. I was just glad that it hadn't been a millisecond later because it would have shit on me right through the sunroof.

I was watching the Gumball 3000 race and some guy in a Bently had a bird stuck head-first into the front grille....It looked just like an episode of the Road Runner.

I’ve got a few Wild Turkeys around my area that show themselves on occasion.
I never had a “hit”, but quite a few close calls including one that flew across my hood.
They can’t quite fly, but they can get off the ground about 4-5 feet on a good run.
I’m guessing they probably weigh between 10-20 pounds so I don’t want to see what one could do to the bumper, hood or windshield.

Yeah that goose that hit me easily weighed 20 pounds. It didn't hit me head on, it was flying perpendicular to my car and just kinda came in and hit my driver side of the wind shield at about a 45 degree angle. and then slid across and up over my car. Left all these streaks and feathers on my windshield. I dont think I'll ever experience anything like that again, at least I hope.

Yes, I know what you mean.
Seeing a wild Turkey with a 4-FT wingspan hovering over my hood as I round a corner at 45 MPH is something I don’t wish to experience again either.

Almost the same rush you get when a Bambi jump out in front of the car…….I said ALMOST !!!
