Bird problems ( feathered kind)

I have trouble with a “dunnock” , although my wing mirrors are in, every morning I wake up to the car caked in bird dropping on the wing mirrors and door window. I suspect the French Racing Blue colour attracts it? Does anyone know of a sure fire way to deter this activity as it’s costing me a fortune in bird poop spray :lol:
Any advice greatly received, have a great bank holiday out there chaps👍
 
Buy a can of Dulux White and paint the car :D

Or else you could put something over the wing mirrors to stop it landing
 
it's bird mating season, a reflection of themselves is a possible competitor. Had this problem once, put some washmit over the mirror and maybe cardboard behind the side window?
 
I have found birds are attracted to blue. The following works;
Spend some time sat outside in close proximity to your car with your hand up a Blue Emu....Rod Hull style. The mirror will act as an aide to your performance.

That should scare the birds away... And the neighbours 😜

I too think this is the most likely scenario. Maybe hang a towel or something over the outside of the window so the bird doesn't see a reflection.
 
You may try to hang few old CDs to any close by wall / tree / pole, these will constantly move generating light reflections that will keep birds away.
We use these on our apricot trees and it works great!
 
Well, thanks for your overwhelming responses, all of which are as crazy as my question ? :lol: :lol:
I’ve taken onboard a few to try, others need
“Sectioning”

We will require pictures please ;-)
 
Are you parked under telephone wires ?

Well...maybe it's only me who is too dumb to notice that (after several months of bird dropping problems).

Failing that, have you tried reasoning with the birds ?
 
Right, I have got wing mirror mittens ( well cloth bags)
and it’s doing the job, the “ Dulux” go faster white strip ( well it is only a P300🙄) is not working, nor did the Gatling gun 🤪, or the bird scare ( a picture of the misses in the window)🤣🤣👊
