Neighbours bird feed and bird poo over my car

gazo7000 · 18 Oct 2015 at 17:09

Hi all,

I'm having a probably with my neighbour as he has a tree next to my car and has recently put up a bird feeder on the tree.

I've noticed that there's been bird poo on my car recently and have to clean it off before it leaves marks in the paint.

I asked him nicely but he didn't believe me that it damages the paint.

Tbh I think he's doing it on purpose, he said he put it up to see birds out of his window but has his blinds closed?

Is there anything I can do?

Put bird seed on the roof of his car

Buy a scarecrow for the bonnet.

Get the rifle out. But don't shoot the birds or the RSPB might come poo in your letterbox.

Cut the tree down, simples.

Then make him a letterbox from it and poo through it. Or you could pre-poo through it to reduce risk.

Does he own a car?

Put More bird feeders away from your car

Remove all the branches from the tree that overhang your land. Deposit them on his land.

You are perfectly entitled to remove overhanging branches but you must give (or at least offer) them back to the person who owns the tree.

My cat is too lazy to go after birds. I would love to cut down the tree but I have no right to. He parks his car in the garage.

I'm thinking mounting a bird ultrasonic repeller but don't know if these things actually work. That way no birds will come.

Buy one and do us a review

Poor birds.

If bird poo wasn't bad for the paint then I wouldn't bother. Tbh I like birds, just don't want them pooing over my car.

Buy a flying cat off the Interweb.

To be honest the bird feeder probably doesn't have much to do with it. We get a lot of birds on the roof of our house and my poor old Mazda is in the flight path. It gets a regular splattering and I don't know of anyone that feeds the birds round here.

I have to park under a neighbours tree and I've always got bird crap on my car

I might just get a car cover when I change cars next.

This whole thread just seems like a load of crap to me!
