A bird was INSIDE my car.... and it did what birds do-all over the dashboard
I left the driver's side window and sun roof open from earlier in the day. After dinner I step outside and see the windows open.

I go back in and joke "Hey Josie I better close up the windows or a bird might get in there"

When I get to the car I open the door and hear someone inside- I step back and see that it is a robin. After opening all the doors it finally leaves and I look around to see if........ yep all over the dashboard.

I return inside once again to get the window cleaner and air freshner.

2. I had one flying around in my car once
while I was driving.

It was somewhat distracting.

4. It's actually uric acid
or bird pee.

Excreting urine would necessitate drinking a lot of water, which is heavy. Hence, uric acid for efficiency's sake. :)

5. let it dry and most will scrape/chip right off
then wipe with a damp cloth

Bird shit is not too bad in the overall scheme of animal feces.:rofl:
