Revenge of the Birds

I'm sorry birds! Whatever I did, I'm sorry!

(Note that what you see on my car appeared overnight last Friday. My car was not parked under trees, and the cars to my immediate right and left were untouched.)

That is some freaky shit right there. Literally.

Hahaha! Yes.

There's actually some fledgling (sic) research that indicates birds prefer to crap on white cars. Really.

I saw this on some science show, where they followed up the results of the above somewhat unscientific sampling with a controlled experiment in an aviary. They put both white and black trash cans in the aviary, and 5 days later measured the results, finding the birds appeared to prefer the white can by a margin of something like 2-1. Curious.

Interesting. I wonder why they think white cars are predators?

Got me. But I did file it away for the next time I'm in the market for a car. :)

The obvious answer: birds are liberals.

[crasch.livejournal.com]

Or commies. Stupid commie birds.

Oohhh, I've had much worse.

I was driving across this one bridge near Seattle a while back and I saw this thing come hurtling down from below. I thought it was a dead bird, but couldn't do anything to avoid it. Turns out it was really more than a gallon of bird shit, collectively shat down upon my car by some unknown number and size of birds. It coated my entire windshield and streaked down the whole right side to the back of the car.

I'm still not entirely sure what I did to angry the enormous shit-beast bird.

Hahahaha! Holy crap. At least it didn't happen while I was driving. I guess birds of a feather do more than flock together. What color is your car?

It was a serious Twilight Zone moment, that's for certain. You're really not supposed to be able to pick up the size / shape of the poo glob and it hurtles towards your windshield.

My car is a dark gray metallic. I really have no idea why it seemed like the best target on the planet. I couldn't get the thing cleaned right away, so I ended up having to go to work like that the next day. My co-workers thought I was exaggerating the story until I dragged them out there to look at it in person.

Huh.

Did you run over a birdcage? Or watch too much Alfred Hitchcock?
