Default Birds and S2000's
A not-entirely serious topic here...

For the last three days this bird has sat on my car all day, pecking the windows and wing mirrors and shitting for England. I've moved the car about but it's a persistant little bugger. I hung some rags over the wing mirrors but that just seemed to make it more determined to peck them... It scarpers off when it sees me though.

Any suggestions?

Stick something matt on the mirror so it can't see its reflection?

Give the car a proper good wash with a garage soapy jet wash if you don't have your own, as it may be able to smell something it likes around that area.

This thread and video made me chuckle.

No idea how to help though.

I had this problem last year, and cured it by pulling an old sock over each mirror when I parked up!

You got a laser pen? Birds don't like them. I used to spend hours bothering crows on the wall outside my apartment with one.

I'd suggest killing it.
