I got a tree right over my driveway where I park my car in front of my house and there is a tree above the spot. Every single day I come down to my car in the morning there are bunch of large birds poops all over. That was not a huge problem until the last month or so. Do they shit more in spring or something??? F$%K !!!!!!! I'm so fucking pissed off that I am about to get my bb gun out and start picking them off the branches. And no I am not cruel I like animals and stuff. But nobody shits on my car shamelessly like this!!!


Anyway... anybody knows a good way to scare those stupid birds off that tree permanently ???

Can't help you with any bird scaring techniques but perhaps the purchase of a car cover would help.

not an option man, I drive the car every day and I can't imagine myself putting the cover on and taking it off every time I gotta run out.

There must be a berry tree somewhere in my neighborhood because lately the bird bombs landing on my car have been purple.

someone must left out an opened flaming hot cheetos bag b/c my gf got 20+ large droppings with the color red in them just by parking under an electrical post.. i definitely didn't want to use my mf towles on those suckers, had to go to gas station just to squeegee it off. anyone know of a good pretreatment for things like this?

come on dudes... some useful suggestions maybe?

mrhenchen

get a cat that climbs trees.. if there large amount of birds then get mulitple cats or just invite your neighbors cats onto that tree. lure them with some kibbles n bits.

Maybe one of those owl replicas on the roof of your house?


Or.... A sh*t load of birdseed on your neighbor's lawn....

Does it leave a "Purple Haze"?

Bird Excrement:
(Or insect excrement like Gypsy moth, June bug, Honeybees, etc) contain highly acidic concentrates (uric acid (pH 3.0-4.5) There main food source in summer is mostly insects, in the winter/ spring it’s berries, which are very acidic, which if left for any length of time the will cause the porous clear coat to occlude (a non-transparent ‘clouded’ area) or may cause etching (a depression in the paint or glass surfaces) Heat (vehicle paint temperature of 90oF+) creates a very aggressive reactivity of the acids that are present, which causes surface etching, so they should be removed without delay, at lower temperatures (40oF or less) there s no reactivity and therefore little or no etching.

Get a large fake rubber snake and put it in the tree. My grandfather did this with his cherry tree. Rarely saw birds in that tree once the fake snake was up there.
