Bird prefer to poop on red cars

Car Colors Most Pooped on by Birds

If you’re looking to buy a new car, then buyer beware.

Birds do have a color preference when it comes to targeting their droppings.

A study in England found that red cars are the most likely target of bird poop, followed by blue and black.

Green cars were the least likely targeted by birds.

So be careful where you park. And if all else fails, consider buying a white car

4. I guessed it was white and silver because they've hit me frequently.

It seemed logical that they might mistake white or silver for water or water shimmers.

I’m hesitant to wipe it off in case it might be a Foo bird

And these days I'm not too good about keeping it clean, so I drive around in a red shit covered car. LOL!
