build a garage.

 

I agree 200%... Great idea.

 

Maybe a small cup of Death Birdseed. Get some birdseed and mix some rat poisen in it. Set the cup on the mirror.. He wont be back..

Or maybe some rice.....LOL

P.S. Rice doesnt kill birds

 

FLYPAPER

 

Well, here's the latest bird**** update: Flipping the mirrors doesn't work! Got home today, and the right mirror housing was covered with bird****!

Went inside, changed, & went back out and washed the truck. Again. Then I tried the bag over the mirror thing, since it kinda seemed to work last time. Went in the house, and no more than 5 minutes later my wife was calling (again) "Hey! There is a bird on your truck (again)".

I looked out, and it flew away by itself this time - I didn't hafta chase it! Progress, ya think?

So, I drive the truck to work on Tuesdays. If the bags work tonight (It is already kinda dark, and I'm hoping the bird won't be back), I'll leave it home on Wednesday with the bags on & give everybody an update when I get home. If it doesn't work tonight, I think I'll try the snake idea next. Then the glue boards.

What I honestly don't know is WHY this freakin bird has a hard on for my truck! I mean, what did my truck ever do to it, ya know?

I have a copule of questions:

1 - Do birds like particular colors? My truck is bright red & tan (Real pretty, too, when it isn't covered with bird****!
2 - I can't be the ONLY one whose had this problem. Common all, 'fess up! How did ya get the bird to stop???
3 - Do birds have mating seasons, like deer & dogs & such? If so, maybe I can just wait it out???

 

ok it seems you want to stick to the non violant rout. so here goes. put a sticker of a fat ugly bird on your mirror. he wont be back.

 

This is SO weird. Does your truck sit for long periods. Maybe the little bird had started a nest somewhere on/under the truck at one point, and now it is attached to it. I have seen birds get attached to trees on my property where they have had nests, and you just about can't run them off...

Also, do you have the black mirrors? Maybe the little bird feels cozy sitting on the warm mirror. I am stumped on this one. Not only can I not figure out why he comes there, but why he sh*ts so much when he's there...

Maybe some Cheby owner trained him to do that....

 

Proof positive that even wild animals like birds prefer FORD!

 

One of those fancy catalog houses [Frontgate maybe] has a sprinkler with a motion detector.....something trips it, and fires for about 5 seconds. Don't know if it works for birds, but it did a great job keeping the deer out of the flowers and bushes. And it will wash the truck as well!

Woof

PS: It also works wonders on the kids smashing pumpkins. I did not use it this year due to rain here, but last year, I left it set and aimed at our pumpkins [which of course I had to leave out in the open....hope I did not violate a baiting law]. About midnight, I heard it go off and then the kids yelling and cussing....they were not happy about being hosed down with cold water when it was about freezing outside, but I was laughing so hard I had tears. Even the wife had to smile at that one.

Found a link to amazon: it is called a scarecrow sprinkler. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...&s=hi&n=507846

That water WAS cold!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Obviously you didn't order the Anti-Bird Crap option on your truck. It's a little-known option available thru Ford. Here's a video clip of it in action.

How much does that option cost. I think I'll forgo the XCAL2 and have that installed instead!!

 

I think it's a real bargain at about $399 or so.

 

man that was sweet. i'd pay a grand for that option.

 

Well, the bags didn't work. The right mirror was covered again, but the freakin' bird is branching out now. There was bird $#%# on the left mirror, by the right windshield wiper, on the roof of the cab right over the right mirror, and at the forward left side of the bed. I think the bird can see his reflection in the back window, as there was #$#^ on the window itself as well as the bed at the forward left. This bird is driving me crazy!!!!

I have the black mirror housings. I went all around under the truck & popped the hood - no nests of any kind. No flocks of birds, either.

We've watched it. It is one SINGLE little bird! I am beginning to think it must be possessed or something! I am considering a mousetrap!
