Is it a thing with the purple integra or what??? Every day im outside washing my car after the birds see it and "bombs away". Are they attracted to the color, or are they import haters? Just got done 5 min ago washing all yesterdays bird shit off go out and lone behold my windsheild is covered again with more presents. There is not a tree in my yard so im thinking they follow me around just to piss me off.


Sorry but these little buggers are pissing me off.

I'm convinced it has something to do with contrasting or bright colors.
My red GTi was hit all the time.
Now I park undercover whenever possible.

i love going to the shore. sea gulls would aim for my integra. they would sit on it, look at me and start laughing, then i scream "no!!!!!!!!", but it's too late - they blow it.

And I hate the kind that won't spray off with your hose... meaning you'll gonna have to scrub it off somehow.

Well i swear to god it got to be something. I parked in the middle of the parking lot at my work right next to my friends truck. Not a spot on his but they ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS hit the passenger rear view mirror. Its like they play a game "hey i bet i can hit it first" I washed the car 2 x's today. Once to clean all yesterdays shit off, then 5 min later they loaded up again. Now i just got off work 2 min ago and the passenger door is white with crap. I wish there was a bird hunting season....id be out everyday.

I feel the same way especially when my car is clean thats why I keep my absorber in the trunk so I can wipe it off immediately.

Yeah, I think they only try when its freshly washed. The other day.. I had some huge crap on the pass. side window. Had to be from a duck or goose. Washed it off at work. Then i washed my car, and it got hit 3 times. Birds need to die.
