I had a problem with bird shit last week. Some bird ate the wrong stuff and splattered everything on my trunk. Drove straight to the nearest car wash. This was done within half an hour. No help. The shit ate into the paintwork. Did the next best thing and went to my friend's paintshop. He used some rubbing compound, took a layer of my was and lacquer away and all looked well again.
Those damned birds!!!

Very clever bird! Sorry to hear about your roof.
Watch out for eagles carring coconuts - They make big dents

So if anyone sees a bird with a Titleist Pro V1x - it's mine.
Unless of course it was dropped on their car & left a dent.

I would be afraid of that too..
Probably the bird was just adming your car and he dropped his food.

I used to varmint hunt for crows with a high velocity rifle. Made quite a pastime out of it combined with developing accurate handloads. Now I live in the city and these crows are as big as ravens. I have managed to plug two fatally with a pellet pistol in Dallas (8 grain pellet at 450 fps) of all things without getting arrested. Well, one needed a little head crushing under my boot when he regained consciousness. They learn fast and do not sit in my trees anymore.
They have a high degree of intelligence for a bird. The dropping nuts on pavement to crack them is a learned behavior and not a genetic thing.
