Or should i say dirty bird.

So it appears this little guy has decided to commandeer my truck. Over the past few mornings I find him(her?) poking at my windshield with OCD like vigor covering it and side view mirror with massive quantities of bird sh!t. (cleaned this am before he came back and I took pic)

Haven’t found it but assume must be guarding a nest in close proximity. Aside from moving my truck any suggested remedies for a cease and desist aside from harming or placing the smackdown on tweety?

Make sure you wash the bird poo target off the side mirror

No idea, btw.

I'm sure the animal rights activists will not approve but a Daisy Red Rider BB gun is very effective at discouraging pests from hanging around. (it worked on my mother in law)

Not powerful enough to permanently hurt the bird but he will get the message that your neighbor's truck is a better hangout. Just don't miss and hit your windshield.

You can also get a rubber snake and drape it over your side mirror. That'll keep it away.

Then a real snake sees the fake snake so it goes up onto your car to check it out and your wife sees the real snake but thinks its the rubber one so she goes to pick it up to scare the neighbor and then finds out it is actually the real snake.

Then you might be in some real trouble
