    Default The mad evil bird

    I have this bird that thinks my new harly street glide is its personal toilet. It lands on the windshield and the mirrors and Spots the bike. The bike is under the car port with the car. I have cleaned lots of spots both from the bike and from the floor. I recently covered the windshield and mirrors with a large bath towel to make it difficult for it to land and that seems to work for the bike but now it fly's through the carport and dumps on the wife's car in flite. I guess i will have to put on camouflage and be the bird sniper.

    I feel your pain. There is a pigeon at my wife's workplace that thinks her new black car is its toilet...and that stuff sets up like concrete. I spent about half an hour one day with some polishing compound and elbow grease cleaning up the damage that crap did to her car. I told my wife when happens again, I put a soft towel, a roll of paper towels, and bottle of water in her trunk so she can clean it off.

    As for bird sniping, with it being a pigeon should I up my game from air soft to .22lr?

    I do understand! Every spring I have to deal with an autoerogenous dove that uses my auto mirrors as a free porno site. Lime drips down both doors any time I forgot to put gallon zipper storage bags over the mirrors.
    I've considered electrifying the mirrors he only does a one point landing. I've moved now and can only hope for the best. Car will be parked East/ West now!

    Robins are particularly vane and will spend a ton of time sitting there looking in the mirror or reflective surfaces and pooping, all day long. We had one a few years ago and I have no idea why it did not starve to death. I sprayed it with the hose and it still did not leave the window. I finally had to cover the window. It's amazing that they have not all been eaten, even a slow cat could catch them.

    The bird i had trouble with was very small so I used a 20 gauge.

    I put a rubber snake over a door way to keep the robins from nesting. It has worked for two years.
