Canada Why are birds attracted to my Camry??

I hit a bird last week...and it knocked or blew my headlight on the driverside...i got it fixed...driving up north to my cottage for the weekend....another bird flys infront of me and it knocked out my passangers side light!

Why do they have to do this to me!!! Seems like i have a target on the front end!

I know this thread is kinda pointless but i needed to vent!

Same here. Maybe they see their reflections and think they are shitting on another bird.

Having a bird poop on your car is one thing.... but actually hitting one is totally different!

I've also noticed that there are a lot of low-flying birds lately around the GTA

I don't know why they're attracted to your car but I have a way to stop them from shitting on your car.

Sit a few feet away from your car while it's parked where it spends the most time. As soon as you see a bird even come close to your car throw your feces at it. Keep throwing your own shit at all the birds you see. Pretty soon they will know you mean business and leave your car alone.

To make sure nobody thinks you're crazy and call the cops you should scream and make lots of noise. Always wear white grandpa underwear, black socks, sandals, and some sort of helmet. Don't wear gloves.

I hope that helps.
