Curse The Birds!!!

Aside from their crap they are more thn happy to bomb all over the paint, these filthy beasts have caused me trouble...

I walked outside today in the parking lot, and saw that the birds were trying to land on my hood. Their claws were, of couse, outstretched, and I now have these mega-sized swirls. I know how t remove the swirls/light scratches, but I have yet to figure out how to get rid of the birds or make them not want to land on my hood. Any input is appriciated.

BTW--I don't want to be shooting BB's at the birds--for fear of hitting the sacred truck. Also, it's an open parking lot, no shade, no protection.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hang a owl on your antenna. Nope not a real one! But they have some very realistic fabricated ones that will do the job. Ask a pest control person in your area.
Uhh, of course you should take the owl off while driving! LOL

owl would work too, just put it up on the hood or anywhere near the truck in plain sight really.
