‘kin birds!

So I washed both cars on Saturday and this morning was running late for work, came out to find some chuffing bird had dropped its guts all over my bonnet and part of Debs cars front wing.

Well, work will have to wait while I sort it. Luckily the cars had a layer of dew so it was all still soft and came off really easily.

Luckily I put two coats of sealant on it a few weeks ago so I’m not worried about this mornings bombing raid but it’s not a good sign.

Neighbours about 5 houses up from us have a bird table in their front garden and they put LOTS of bread out. One day there was a whole slice of bread on the roof of Debs car...I thought “that’s random” until I saw the gulls swarming round the bird table where it looked like they’d put out a whole loaf!

We get on with them so don’t know how to ask (tell) them to stop 😂
 
I have always wondered about this, your car can be sitting unwashed for a week or more and doesnt get s**t on. You wash it and next minute its splatted.
Do birds aim for shiny things or do they normally aim for water and mistake shiny cars for pools of water.
 
I have to park my car under the trees that occupy part of my front driveway, so this is a regular and very annoying occurrence for me :lol: I've learned to just ignore it now, although the windscreen dumps leave a mess when the wipers do their thing :lol: :cry:

Me neighbours also feed the birds, but I don't think it's something you can ask someone to stop doing, without coming off as a complete tosser :?
 
Maybe if you get your neighbor to clean your car's each time "their" birds Crap on car. They will stop feeding birds.
 
Ford had an answer for that....................

Hands up to feeding our feathered friends, or adversaries depending perhaps on how frequently and badly your pride and joy is 'bombed' !!
Love the creativity and simplicicity in this add..."birds sh*tting your car, get a Ka" :rofl:
 
I had a classic on Sunday fitting my new wheels, had a pair of latex gloves on and my overalls, sleeve rolled up just enough to to take it off my wrist an inch and you guessed it, a massive bird s**t landed on right on my wrist, literally the only bit of skin exposed on me, what a fucking aim that was..as I said at the time..you couldn't make this s**t up :x :rofl:
 
Wife's daughter's in-laws (keep up), were on the coast a few years back and M-I-L got well and truly splatted by a seagull.
That evening they won £6 million on the lottery!

Buy a ticket, quick!
 
Yeah, even I figured out talking to them would be a bad idea and achieve nothing, hence not doing so.

That Ka advert is class, but when the bread is out the birds are like flies in sh1t, loads of them.

If I thought a lottery win was on the cards then I’d put the bread out myself 😂

I think the frustration is knowing there is nothing you can do (to stop it in general, not just the neighbours) and the irony that it often happens when the car is clean.

I must look like (more of) a prick at 8am cleaning my car in my work clothes 😂
 
Offer to add some bread to their table yourself and lace it with rat poison. Win, win.

Sorry.......not funny. There are far too many d*******s in the world now, we don't need to encourage them....even if it was in jest.
 
We have a bird table in the back garden. Keeps the birds away from the front. :) Plus there is better cover for the cat. :wink:
