Birds destroying my jeep

[Wrangler847]

Idk what the hell is going but these birds are like on my jeep poking beeks all into my paint scratching up my entire jeep and crapping all over it. Has anyone ever seen this in a lifetime? I can't figure it out for the life of me ... I have brillow pad swirls and scrapes all over my hood ...as I type this a bird is literally jabbing it's beek right into my door panel over and over like it's on bath salts.

Perhaps, an owl statue may scare away the birds. What type of birds are they?

Good luck to you in resolving this.

The bird is probably seeing its reflection in the glass and freaking out thinking its another bird on its turf and trying to attack it. You must be parking near its nest. I had this happen a couple times when I used to street park near a tree.

Put one of these on your roof, when your not using the jeep. They keep birds off of boats and work great !

Do you have Ocean Blue by any chance? I don't know how true it is but I've heard Blue vehicles get crapped on more because they think it's water.

Cracked corn soaked in green anti-freeze. Works for mice, rats, and birds. It is the indiscriminate killer.

You have a co-worker who you are having a problem with? We had one real jerk at work who went out of their way to try and cause trouble for everyone. Problem was solved by getting cafeteria to save us their old bread which was liberally deposited around their car in the parking lot every morning. It helped that this person would always park across two spots so fallout to others was limited. Seagulls love bread.

You are probably on to something. OP states the birds are pecking his door panels also. Must be the reflection off the door panel. Must be some great wax! lol.

What kind of wax are you using? I had some wax before that smelled like bananas. Maybe birds are attracted to it? Or you put a hell of a shine on your rig and the birds are scared of their own reflection and being territorial. Again that's some impressive wax!

Might be time to add a few stickers on to your JL. They have stickers or tape with reflective prism patterns like on fishing lures to deter birds.

Or maybe some of those pinwheels that spin in the wind? Maybe suction cup some of those pinwheels on the Jeep.

Moving and parking somewhere else is probably the easiest solution. That or maybe a Red Ryder BB gun! lol.

Also…take a video of the birds damaging your Wrangler. You might need proof for the insurance company if the damage requires a claim. Or maybe Farmers Insurance needs more material for it's commercials! lol.

I read antifreeze supposedly had a sweet smell or taste so animals like to lick or eat it. Supposedly damages kidneys or something? Probably a bad idea. Unfortunately it probably works on cats and dogs too.

Yup would kill them as well. Also likely get a hefty fine from the SPCA or local bylaw officers.

I think you guys are right with the reflection. I forgot about the owl trick. I just put it outside again because my 2 year old fell in love with it and drags it around the house. I'm worried my paint is gonna be all messed up now from the pecking.

I had a Toyota back in the 80's and a Ford in the late 90's that were similar to my Ocean Blue Wrangler. I can't say they were crapped on any more than every vehicle I've owned. Maybe birds just hate him.
