I have come to understand that when I leave my car in the driveway instead of putting it the garage, birds shit on it. They are attracted to it. This is my lot in life. I get it. When there’s a heavy rain as there was last night, it washes it off. This is all good – it’s the circle of life.
What I don’t get is how birds manage to shit on the deck chair on my covered porch. What are they doing in there? I just cleaned it off with some Fantastik and a paper towel, but I know it’s futile, because they’ll be back. Now I know what all the tweeting is about in the 4:30 AM “dawn chorus” – birds are announcing to all the other birds prime targets for shitting upon, and I’m pretty sure I’m at the top of their list.
