What attracts the birds?

[paulgs1000]

No - not what you might think....

So spend a few hours cleaning and polishing the Zed - go out the next morning and it's been used as a bomb aim point by what I can only imagine is obese, gastro-enteritis suffering, giant cow related, bird life! :x

My Zed's silver and it seems to be a bit of a bird magnet of the wrong sort - anyone else agree it might be the colour?

I have a theory on this.

Clean cars get shat on, dirty ones don't.

I think the birds flying over think the shiny roof is water, hence 'dump' on it.

See it all the time in Cornwall, seagulls only soil clean motors!

Trees, stoops and roofs around your parking space are more likely the suspect..

That's a good theory! Do you think roadsters get pooped on less?

Put a life size statue or carving of an eagle or other bird of prey on your roof or in your garden. One of our neighbours did that because of seagulls which were getting pretty aggressive. No more seagulls and no more bird poo.

Good manners, impeccable dress sense, confidence and a calm yet humorous attitude to life.

...sometimes money.

It has also been shown that birds are attracted to the heat from the bonnet too, and will sit and socialise there releaving themselves as they do so!

I wonder if red cars get pooped on less (red being danger in nature)

great theory.... cos of course birds only ever s**t over water.....

 

[paulgs1000]

Brilliant - I'm gonna get me an eagle statue!

 

[Chuffer]

When I had a red car it used to get more bird crap on it than any other colour I've ever had! I've had grey, green, white, etc. working on the theory that red is danger perhaps they crap themselves when seeing red!

I think it's down to how birds see the world.

 

[JuniorJet]

Park away from trees, bushes and overhanging objects
