Bird-on-the-mirror Problem: Anyone Got A Solution?
 

Problem: Birds love landing on the big exterior mirrors of the 370Z. When they take off, they leave a long, streaming line of bird poop extending down the door.

Does anyone have a solution for this probem? How do I keep the birds from "soiling" the side of my Z?

That's an awkward problem. I have no idea what u should do.
Spray some perfum on them. I know that's cats hate the smell of it.

Have any pics of the birds standing on the car...LOL

Someone could make some big bucks if they found a way to mfg an effective ultrasonic bird repeller to mount on cars :)

Ruin their magnetic senses LOL

We need metal side mirrors instead of plastics. Do what is donefor statues. Little electrical current to zap them.

Here's your solution (Just be sure to keep your hand off your mirror should the notion strike you.)

:bowrofl: /\ perfect solution! +1

fold them in when not in use?

what colour is ur Z anyways??.....maybe that has to do with it

In Japan, Nissan released the first-year 370Z (Z34) with electrically folding mirrors.

^^ they should move when the bird lands on it...might kill the battery after awhile though....hahaha

how many birds are doing this? are they doing this at your house?

If they are doing it at your house, i would get out my crossman rifle bb gun, and just remove the bird that does it from the area.

I use to be deadly accurate with a bb gun. bird will land on the mirror, then follow it from there. Or if your really brave knock it off your mirror.

Right now i have a sterlings who took over a nest that a wood peckers just recently built, i am thinking about taking them out becuase they are regular "crap" factorys. But so far i have not seen poop any where except my brother car and i have no idea if it was the sterlings or from parking some where else.

a little bad aim and there goes the windshield or side window....... he needs a Plan B

Yeah, an over & under .410 gauge! :tup:

use a quick detailer on the poop right away before it burns and leaves an ugly mark forever.

just for the record, you would have to angle it so if you miss the bb shoots by the Z, if you were to miss. Thats IF you was that brave, its easyer to let it fly away to which ever tree then tag it from there.

If i remember correctly a pointed pellet had a straighter path, while a bb did more circle motion as it went through the air.
