Bird Poop Thread 1: About Bird Poop !

Some stupid bird pooped on the steps up to my front porch.
 
Never park your car under a holly trees. Birds eat those and then drop acid bombs on your paint.

Every January a flock of non-migrating robins spends several days stripping all the berries from holly trees at my Dad's house. The robins are around now, but aren't touching the berries just yet. About two weeks until that happens.

Sorry I missed this. This time of year it’s probably holly berries mixed with cedar berries. You’ve probably got Cedar Waxwings.

Flock of non-migratory robins stripped the holly trees in my Dad's yard last week. Happens every year. 20-30 id them pick a day and keep eating until the trees are bare of berries.
 
Huge roost of crows by my workplace recently...making noise and pooping like crazy!

a thought I had about birds the other day was that bird-themed logos for soccer teams are so much better than bird-themed design in the NFL
 
Hey birdman, we have a bluejay that sits on our doors off our back porch and just stares in at us all the time. Also, sometimes when we open the door to let the dogs out, it flies into the house and we have to catch it in a blanket to get it out again. Is it possibly a reincarnated dead relative trying to come visit, or more likely just a harbinger of doom? Either way, he’s kind of an asshole for a bluejay.
