I noticed it one morning, and washed my car. No biggie! Then the next morning he doubled down 😐

I had a bird that was seemingly obsessed with itself and would look at its reflection in the mirror while jet streaming shit onto my driver side door. Probably what’s happening here 😆

He literally just sits and waits until he has to crap all over my door again 😂

Hilarious, like he's looking to make sure the coast is clear

u/DryStatistician7055 7d ago

Does this happen at a certain time everyday?

4

u/Lunch_Trae 7d ago

I feel like it’s constant but I haven’t been checking consistently or anything 😂

These guys are not obsessed with themselves; they see a rival. Put socks over the mirrors when parked at home.

Criminally unnoticed voice of reason.

u/ScottScanlon 7d ago

I don’t think it was just a bird. I think he went and got all the homies to chip in.

u/Lunch_Trae 7d ago

For real 😂. I keep coming outside and there he is. Just sitting there. Waiting to poop again.

I've lived this life, running out of my house in my underwear, rake in hand, chasing birds off.

You really want to start covering your mirror with some cloth in the evening, and it'll lose interest in a couple of weeks, otherwise this is going to be a near daily occurrence

u/Lunch_Trae 7d ago

Is it just his reflection? Maybe he sees his reflection in the window too 🤦‍♂️. I see beak marks in the window where he’s been scratching at it

u/Accurate_Koala_4698 7d ago

It's mating season and birds are very territorial right now. It thinks that's a rival moving in on its nest

4

u/Lunch_Trae 7d ago

He’s probably so upset this maniac is still on his territory. Even after all the poop 😂

u/Viablemorgan 7d ago

Not a bird. Me. Sorry man

u/Lunch_Trae 7d ago

What in the world does your diet consist of?? I think you should go to a doctor man

u/Viablemorgan 7d ago

Birds mostly

2

u/Lunch_Trae 7d ago

That makes perfect sense

u/RidingUpFromBangor 7d ago

I think I saw this dude, eating a bird, down by the tracks. The bird he was eating had just finished eating the leg of someone I know

We have an eastern bluebird pair that returns to our house every year and one of them does this to our car, and it also taps on our back door window non-stop and drives my dog crazy

2

u/Lunch_Trae 7d ago

Is this an eastern bluebird by chance? Maybe your harasser is this guys cousin or something 😂

2

u/Efficient-Health-967 7d ago

I think the males are obsessed with themselves 😍

u/Lunch_Trae 7d ago

Bro is a narcissist for real 😂

u/Icy-Ear-466 7d ago

To remedy this, put a grocery bag over the mirror. My neighbor had to do this for a few years because a Robin would come back every spring to nest and mess up his car. It was over after the robins life span was over.

u/Lunch_Trae 7d ago

It seems I may have a nemesis for life 🤦‍♂️

2

u/Icy-Ear-466 7d ago

It’s only for a few weeks in Spring time and then it stops if I remember correctly

u/Acrobatic-Flan-4626 7d ago

This happened to me with a short fused cardinal. I just folded my mirror in for a few days.

u/Away-Elephant-4323 7d ago

That bird has a bone to pick with you!

2

u/melisshki 7d ago

Put a shopping bag over your mirror when you get home. It prevents them from seeing and attacking their reflection in the mirror, and eventually they’ll move on.

1

u/Lunch_Trae 7d ago

I will give that a shot! But I think he sees his reflection in the window too, since there’s scratch marks from what I am assuming is his beak 😅

2

u/Humble_Reward3733 7d ago

They’ve done it to mine too, but I’m the front passenger 😭

2

u/Upstairs_Lettuce_746 7d ago

Probably didn't like your Honda, telling you to upgrade it to a Vtec turbo instead

3

u/Lunch_Trae 7d ago

Who am I to deny this birds wisdom 😔

2

u/ObiWangCannabis 7d ago

Apparently "turd" is the word

2

u/zipperfire 7d ago

That bird probably has chickens in the extended family and you were carrying home Popeyes. Took it personally. Go for burgers next time.

2

u/LGR- 7d ago

It’s spring, it’s fighting the mirror. It will win and hormones go back to normal. Then he will leave it alone hopefully

u/OtterPops89 7d ago

"This the one?" "Yeah, this the one, let 'em have it!" splat splat splat splaaaat

u/KingsRansom79 7d ago

Start feeding or adopt an outdoor cat.

2

u/powdered_dognut 7d ago

We have to cover our side mirrors because the cardinals are assholes.

2

u/Street-Comb-4087 6d ago

Next time you see the bird heading for your car, grab a hose and spray the fuck out of it. That will teach it not to sit there.

u/MsSquirtland 7d ago

this the bird ?
