So I pulled into my driveway this morning and parked for a bit while inside. Suddenly, I start hearing little scratching noises, and I see a few of the little bastards going nuts on my trunk and hood. I'm assuming they see a reflection and think it's a rival bird.

Any ideas to stop this? Perhaps a car cover or an owl decoy by the side of the house? I'd really rather not get a car cover because

1) it's a pain in the ass and

2) it's a pain in the ass.

No, but I have issues with trees

Washed her yesterday and now I need to wash her again today.

Don't think there's anything you can do about that DK, unless you parked next to their nest!

It's the only logical solution.

Yeah, the Owl hanging outside apparently does the trick!

Ha ha awesome...somehow I can't help but think that's killing a mosquito with a flamethrower

I don't think they are nesting this time of year, but I suppose anything is possible.

Might go get an owl and put it right on top of my car- that should be a real hoot!

Yes! Those little bastards went apeshit on my last BMW, too. They saw their reflections in my window, and they'd stand on the edge of the window trim and shit all over my car while pecking at the glass. It has something to do with a certain time of the year when birds are more territorial. Only solution is a garage or car cover

Tippi, is that you...?

Owl hood ornament. So classy

[Dark_Knight_335]

How about this one? Any issues with fitment?

[bimmette]

Sometimes you ask the weirdest questions.

[Dark_Knight_335]

Indeed. You don't have birds where you live Tara?

Actually I had one of those fake owls on my roof until recently! Haha!

[Fred_Boosted]

Maybe a statue of a bird hunter holding a shot gun?

That would freak the neighbors out too, how cool is that.

Haha...I don't live out in the sticks my friend, it sure would make me the talk of the neighborhood

I'm on the fence as to how effective those things really are... these inner-city birds are pretty street smart

[Built My Way]

Here! This will solve all your problems.



Seriously though. Try a car cover for a week or so. The birds will move on.

[iDriveanXi]

They've gone after my wife's car. It sees it's reflection and pecks. I yelled at one one morning haha, stupid birds. I haven't seen any peck marks on my car, it's just the way the come into my yard I guess. There is a family of around 20 that roams around my neighborhood. They sleep in the trees behind my house sometimes too.

[Dark_Knight_335]

Yup- that's the way they come into the yard. I feed the little bastards too during the winter months, so I guess I have myself to blame
