I kow this sounds funny but it's so wierd it's true.
So spring is almost here and my bird "friend" has returned...
There is a bird (a robin to be specific) that loves to look at itself in my external rear view mirrors. it keeps flapping and bounceing off the mirror while trying to fight? it's own image. of couse in the process it craps down the doors on both sides of the car....any car for that matter that is parked in the driveway. this is the 3rd year this has been going on...yes...the same bird returns and takes up residence near by and then statrs it's summer long battle with my car.
Has anyone else ever had a problem like this and did you find a fix ?? short of keeping bathroom shower caps over the mirros when not in use...yes...I've done that.
I hate to laugh at the bird poo on your vehicle, but you have to admit it is a funny problem. Wish I had some advice to offer you, but, nothing here on this end. Good luck!!
I have a problem with a robin this spring as well... it has either lost a mate or looking for one but has made a mess flying into reflections in the glass door. I have cleaned the bird crap regularly for the last two weeks and sprayed him with the hose but he is still here. Would love to know the answer… I hope I don’t have to do this every year!
In practical terms: A Turdus is a Turdus is a Turdus - I guess!
In real life: Get a garage, JBrown, or a plastic owl. They got lots of relatives - and friends!
