White cars a hit for bird droppings



Birds prefer their droppings to be on white cars, according to a scientific study.



Student teacher Charles West, 37, carried out the survey for his department of education at Bristol University.



He enlisted the help of 40 researchers and counted bird droppings on 2,000 motors reports The Sun.



The team concluded that birds were less likely to dirty navy blue and black.



Bird expert Dr Derek Toomer said they might "bomb" white cars because they associate the colour with predators.



He added: "Birds do respond to colours."

Birds Like shinny cars, they look down and see their reflection and think its another bird and they take a dump thinking they are dumping on another bird. Just kidding!

Funny, I've seen much more bird response on BLACK cars more than any other color.

In the same vein, my friend Jr. and I were out looking at her latest layer of SG today and we watched a dragonfly repeatedly try to land in what he thought was a body of water, but was actually the hood of her car!
