Default 50 birds crapped on my car in 2 hours, I think?

I normally park my car in my garage but today I left it outside for a couple of hours and when I went to drive it it had no less than 50 separate black splashes on it. I saw no birds when I parked it and I saw none when I went to drive it but this stuff was all over it. The "stuff" looked different than any bird poop that I have ever seen, kind of reminded me of the squirrel monkey crap that I saw in Costa Rica this summer. Does anyone have any idea what this might be? Whatever did it must have been out there in large numbers or had an extremely active digestive system. This happened today in Sacramento if that helps. Also my wife, who is too lazy to park her Lexus in the garage gets an occasional spot or two of this black stuff on her car, but never anything like the quantity that I got on the white Audi.

Default Yes, 50 birds could've gotten your car...

It has been the strangest bird thing I've ever seen, but I have seen absolutely huge flocks of birds (small black disgusting birds)...that fill approximately 25% of the sky at one time...densely...I could easily see a flock like that passing over and everything in its path is laid to waste...that is bird waste...NorCal has too many freaking birds!

Default Maybe they should let people start hunting birds. Just fire up into the air and thin them out....

...oh, and maybe even kill some birds too!!

Default Oh, great, I have to go to Sacramento tomorrow!

Maybe they'll have a covered garage...

No, but if you hum a few bars, maybe. ;-)

Default Did you park it just before dusk?

I notice that birds "relieve" themselves just before they roost for the night. I avoid outdoor parking especially under or near trees, utility poles, or wires at that time. Yuk!

Default You need to mount one of these on your car. Try Agway or other farm suppliers.
