Darn birds lol

Funny how when I park the farm truck under the power line they paint it good with droppings and when I don't you never see any on the lane!
 
It’s all in the timing. The bird has to calculate wind speed, altitude and weight of the projectile in order to grunt at just the right time to hit that windshield.
 
Got the new lawn mower out and sitting by machine shed so I could get the other one out to do the out lying area, sure enough, dead center on the seat.
 
I noticed a big splatter running down the garage door, up close to the top.

I don't think it was done from the inside when the door was open, too big of a pattern.

He had to get up some speed, do an upward swoop, release with substantial push to get the elevation and distance without hitting the eve!

No, this was no accident! LOL
 
Had a dark metallic green Ford many years ago- whenever I washed it and the sun was out, it was open season for the birds! Finally got so I'd wash it when it was cloudy.
 
Hi, I believe they have a method. I checked out of my
hotel in Oahu, Hawaii and was standing on the sidewalk waiting for the airport cab when out of the blue, I was targeted by an albatross (I'm sure). I was covered front and back. Had to change into my cleanest dirty shirt. Ed Will
 
They really do have a strange vendetta. We were on vacation down at the gulf. When we returned, there was a circle on my concrete driveway about 10 feet across, solid crap. I sat in a lawnchair and watched, and sure enough, they were comming from a distance and aiming. A 12 guage to one of them. Layed the carcus on the driveway, for an example, it all stopped.
 
We all know that saying about eagles on payday well.....don't get behind one. We were watching one sitting in a tree and it leaned forward shook and projected a considerable load a considerable distance. I will keep my distance.
 
I remember as a kid the Redwing Blackbirds would dive bomb us when we were fishing in my small row boat. I don't believe it was a coincidence it was intentional. They would make a big fuss if we got to close to the Cattails where they nested.
 
Every year swallows will start to build a nest in my front door entrance that is recessed. I knock it down and the rotten bast###s crap all over everything in retaliation. I am about to the point of sitting outside with a 12 gauge with a little retaliation of my own.

The hummingbirds which I enjoy have no problem letting you know when the feeder is empty. If it is out they will stop about 3 feet in your face, hover a few seconds then fly to the feeder to show you. Last year right before fall migration I was sitting outside and watched a hummer eat from the feeder and then he came up to me as if to say thanks right before he took off for his winter home.


Just like people there are good ones and there are bad ones.

I put birdseed out for them, then they poop on my car, tractor, whatever's handy. A bit off-topic, but this brings to mind the arctic tern--a bird I had the misfortune of knowing in Scandinavia. It's a sea-bird, and doesn't take kindly to visitors. So when I was helping a friend at his remote farm out in the country, no sooner had I hopped out of my truck than one of these birds came out of the sky, yapped like a little dog, then pecked me on the head. Warning shot. Fortunately I had a wool ski cap on, but this continued for the entire time we were working outside. The birds make no warning cries while they are circling above, so you only realize what is happening as it happens--yap, then sharp peck. With no head protection, they easily draw blood. Not a small bird--maybe a little smaller than a seagull.
 
Back in the 90's a bunch of us travelled to Vancouver for the Indy race.

We were buying our tickets for the Sky train to get us to the venue from a ticket dispenser located outside at the station.

Peter was the last one to buy his ticket, he put his money in then reached out his hand to take the ticket when WHAM from above the biggest most nasty looking mess of bird poo I have ever seen hit square on his hand and splashed onto his face shirt and leg.

I cant post on here the words that came out of his mouth but I can say I laughed so hard that I had tears running down my face.
To put the icing on the cake we had to rush so would not miss the train and being that Peter was dressed in shorts and a t-shirt he did not even have a tissue handy to clean himself up with, lots of strange looks from people when we got on the train as we still could not stop laughing nor could Peter stop cussing us and the bird.
He did finally find a washroom to get himself cleaned up at the track.
 
lol I work for a car auction company in Canada. Every spring when the canadian geese comes back in the spring they literally target practice. More than once we come back after a weekend and next thing you know you find 1 vehicle all covered in green droppings. All the cars are next to each other but apparently from up in the sky they challenge each other to aim at a specific spot.
