Question A Bird's Favorite color for BOMBING

My Wife has a black Grand Prix, and two guys at work also have black cars. All three have had been attacked by the infamous bird bombs.Today my Wife's car must have had three Teradactals fly over, as the bombs were 5" around!! My truck is silver and has yet to get hit.
I swear Birds like black cars to crap on.

LOL I think the exact opposite! I say it's definitely 100% absolutely
SILVER
Maybe they're attracted to shiny things?


BTW, I say this with no less than THREE silver cars in the family fleet, so I know.

I agree 100%. I have owned green, blue, maroon, white, red and silver cars. Silver attracts more bird bombs that anything- I think it looks like water to a freakin' bird.....

I agree, I use to have a black explorer and it got crapped on regularly.

Where's charcoal in that list? I have owned gold, black/silver, burgundy, and charcoal 2x, I can truly say that my charcoal '02 keeps getting nailed by bird bombs.

Here's photo evidence. I took this pic last week and forgot about it. I darkened it a bit so you could see them better, but there are lots of little droppings between the big ones and the grille, and one more on the bumper.

By the way, this all happened within a 2 hour window and needless to say I went when I saw it.

Darn birds!

My friend's 2k Black Maxima is an instant target after her daughter washes it. Not even 10 min after the car is clean, SPLAT!

Her reaction: then

I think they like Autopian cars.....seriously. Anything just waxed and really shiny is just like a trailer home in a tornado.

I think the birds like any car that is clean and shiny. Color doesn't matter. It never fails right after my car is washed and shiny it is splattered with bird bombs! My current car is silver but the same happned with my white and red cars.
