Daily Routine >.<

Ok so every mourning i wake up and i see this on my car. Its ok i'm not suprised. So then i clean it off go to work. Do my thing and the next mourning its there again. I see the same bird pooping on my car everyday and i clean it off everyday. I've suggested killing the bird with a BB gun but i dont wanna accidentally hit my car. and its a finch thats always around and i see it everday on my property and its our state bird. Any suggestions of wut to do? i'm like this birds bitch and cleaning it off EVERY MOURNING! i've been cleaning it off for like 2 weeks now

Oh yea its always pooping under the mirror on the driver side AND the passenger side. ALWAYS the same spot. Nowhere else

Place a fake snake on your sideview mirror when you get home.

You could also place a piece of plastic sheet on the mirror (use clips to hold it in place). The bird is probably sleeping on the mirrors. It would have a tough time perching on slippery plastic.

Birds have little control of when they go, it's just at some fixed length of time (simpler digestive system than mammals to keep weight down).

Treat it well. It likes your car!

I've got an entire family of cardinals that perch on the side-views of any car that parks in my driveway. HIGHLY enfuriating, but it's like trying to stop the tides.

Peace

Next time you see the bird on your mirrors (if you do at all). Then hit the panic button on the remote! :D

Oh wait... that might scare the crap outta them.
