do birds love black

horty24 · 04-25-2014, 10:25 AM

Is it just me or do birds love to Crap on my black Z? Seems like everyday I clean it up the next day another one appears. I have 4 cars a silver one, A red one, maroon one, and my black Z. Why do they keep crapping only on the Z? Haters!

I traded my silver Z in on a black one because of all the birdshit. So far I can leave it out in the parking lot all day and no crap. Silver one it would look like Ron Jermey spunked all over it by the end of the day.

Scientific studies show that in fact Red cars attract the most poop.
Also, dont park under trees. That cuts down the odds you get shat on.

A British study show 14% of birds who participated in the poop survey like black cars. Put a scare crow next to your Z.

Black is the worst color ever invented for showing dirt. If a gnat steps in dogshit and then lands on your car, you'll see his footprint. I should have gotten gunmetal gray, or even white.

Birds only love black after a fresh wash and wax. If your car is already dirty, they'll leave it alone.

I literally saw a bird **** on my car. I moved the car and threw a rock at the bird. I missed

Just ask my wife who has a black Hyundai and parks it in the driveway. Not only do they crap on her car almost daily, they do it in the same spot every time....the driver's door. Go figure! So the answer is absolutely!

True but nothing looks better than black when it's detailed

Birds have excellent eyesight, especially for movement. I believe they have reasonably good color perception too, so that finding makes sense.

Notwithstanding where you park, birdshit is primarily white, so it will be especially noticeable on a black car.
