Birdshit problem.

[Roger Taylor]

If there are no other places to park, get a car cover.

[SteveB]

one of them bird actuated sprinklers. You will have to park your car somewhere long enough to get them trained ............

OR

My favorite .............. Fi-Shock (find the basic unit on Google) Good for wandering dogs and cats, too.

Take a pvc pipe. Spiral two wires around it, and tape it every foot or so that the wires do not move. Leave about half an inch gap between the wires. Hook it up to the Fi-Shock.

Any bird landing on the PVC and touching the wires will not return in its lifetime. The other birds will flee upon hearing the distress call of the shocked bird. Be sure to put it where they frequent, and maybe even put a little feeder or suet stick there.

The PVC can be painted brown, and look very inconspicuous with brown coated phone wires going to it.

I love and respect animals. But when they start s*****ng on my car, it's war.

Being urban you probably can't use one of those "cannons" which make a lound report, the kind they have at airports. :-) So....

Assuming you can't easily park your car elsewhere, and don't want to cut down a nice tree:

Try fake owls, or....

Get a tree climbing cat?

In my state, that constitutes a firearm.

Not a good way to deal with it or endear one to the neighbors. Those ball bearings gotta come down somewhere. Not a good idea.

Any ideas on best way to get rid of birds who love to sit in my live oak and shit all over my car? I'm in an urban area so no shooting at em. Thanks.

Wrist rocket and ball bearings.

[David Martel]

Zen,

If the tree is yours and the birds are not an endangered specie then perhaps you can paint the branches with bird lime.

Wrist rocket and gumdrops. Pain is a powerful teacher, and they will lose energy fast enough to do no harm coming down.-Jitney

When you miss,the bearing goes somewhere that it might cause damage to others,no different than any firearm round.

[SteveB]

You probably already realized that anyone who would suggest such an idea is not thinking clearly.

What species of bird are the little poopers?

If they're on the small side, they might be dissuaded with fake barn-owls or some other variety they'd recognize locally. Very few birds will comfortably perch under the gaze of what seems to be a red-tailed hawk, or pick an accipiter compatible with your area, that you can find a suitable facsimile of. Bigger is better.

Your local Audubon folks can likely provide useful info, long as they don't see the wrist-rocket.

Bird blunts and a hand bow. Water cannon. Tesla coil. Big fishnets. Giant flypaper.

You guys are rank amateurs. You ought to hear what they say about me in the nursing newsgroups.
