I am getting really sick of the stupid cardinal that likes to use its beak to attack my side mirrors and get mud all over them. Is there anyway that I can deter it away from my car? I was thinking of using something to cover the mirrors up, but what can I use? Does any manufacturer offer something that covers the glass on the mirror? I`d rather do something that will keep it away for good other than covering up the mirrors daily. I don`t think work will be too happy though if I am firing rounds off at birds. Any ideas?

There was a robin who`s entire day was spent attacking the mirrors of any car parked in my driveway. The mud and bird crap he could put on a car was unreal.



Putting socks over the mirrors helped but then he started attacking my wheels, I guess they were just too shiney.

I had that problem before and used a shower cap.

I have tried putting bags over the mirrors a few times but that worked. I was hoping there was another way to get them to go away instead of having to constantly cover them.

Poison the bird. If you don`t it will poop on your car.

maybe try killing one and leaving it by your car. maybe they`ll be scared and not come around. or maybe wrap a toy snake around the mirror haha

With what? I have always heard rice works good with them.

You could try one of those fake owls that are supposed to scare other birds away. Doesn`t work too well with crows (which are almost as big as the owl) but might work well with smaller birds.

get a outdoor cat.... They won`t be bugging those mirrors anymore with the little kitty prowling around.
