A bird did a really big poop on my car.

Hello

A bird did a really big poop on my car but it was a weird purple colour.

It covered a quarter of the windscreen and that is no exaggeration.

If I put a stuffed cat on top of the roof, do you think it will stop this happening again in the future?

Yep, that purple stuff happens a lot to boat owners. The solution is to string up some old CDs across the rigging to scare the birds. Maybe you could do the same from your car aerial.

So now there's a use for all those CDs that AOL keep sending in the post.

This happened to the front of my caravan over half the front was covered in this purple mess. It must have been an ostrich flying over. I know they can't fly, not surprising really if they carry that much shit about.

We used to ahve trees in our front garden at our old house, so our cars were covered in crap.

The footpaths behind our house now are also covered in it (as is part of our garden) due to the trees behind us.

Our aerial seems to attract them to, so our bins (which are directly below the aerial) are always white isnetad of whatever colour they should be.

I was once crapped on by pigeon in Covent Garden...I wouldnt have minded if I was on the way home, but no, I had just arrived in London, and a had a long day ahead of me....

Maybe the bird had eaten dry rice and exploded?

I found a bean on my car windscreen 3 weeks ago, right in the middle of it - no bean juice, nothing anywhere else on the car, just a solitary bean. Puzzled me how it got there - surely no-one's going to be so bored they take a bean, wash it and place it squarely on my windscreen?

French bean? Runner bean? baked bean? kidney bean? broad bean? What kind of bean had somebody washed & placed on your windscreen? (Or maybe a bird had 'bean'?! )

It was a baked bean. Unsure of brand, possibly Heinz but could have been HP. Looked probably a bit too plump to be a 9p special Netto bean.

It was a bird of the avian variety which, if your post was accurate, I would have been involved in beastiality.

I was also 9 which would mean your post refers to peadophilia.

Why do you infer such things?

Nope, just the bean on its own sat on my windscreen. No sauce, no trail on the window as if it had been flung - it was as if someone had taken the trouble to wash it, then go to the windscreen, lean across into the middle of the car, then place it delicately on; taking care not to leave any marks.

Bizarre, it still puzzles me to this day. I even thought there's a possibility of a flying bean as it was dustbin day and they had driven past; but all the dustbins in the borough are wheelie bins with no 'flinging' involved!

How awful. I was in Falmouth last week and some child disturbed all the seagulls on the harbour. Consequently they all went bonkers, flew around and pooped everywhere. Some guy got a direct hit on his hat. At that point I headed indoors immediately

Hello

I think the birds shit on things deliberately, every time I wash my car a bird shites on it about hour later.

There more intelligent then we like to think.

I can think of one FM who would say that you should be happy that it was only plop on your car that the bird dropped.

Unfortunately, that doesn't work.

I've seen it not working at Salcombe and Dartmouth.
