So is This What a $hit Storm Looks Like?

[mawnansmiff]

Living as I do near the coast I often had to clean the windscreen of my Skoda that was spattered by seagull droppings.

It seems the poor folk of Lincolnshire have the same problem though with starlings.

Great Gonerby villagers complain of 'pitter patter' of bird droppings

Residents of Great Gonerby in Lincolnshire say they are fed up of being splattered by starlings.

Perhaps they need this to happen in their area.....

Toilet paper spill ‘clogs’ traffic on US highway

Officers responded to a call. The offender: Loo rolls causing havoc on a busy interstate.

This happened to me once. Again by the sea.
But the cars next to me were unaffected.

My vehicle was smart bombed.

My vehicle was smart bombed.

That happened to me once while I was driving. I made the mistake of using my washers & wipers to clear it but all I did was make it worse. I ended up having to pull over and clean if off myself.

Perhaps the story should have been titled, "Great Goner By Starlings".

This looks like a professional mob hit to me. Notice the uniform splatter front and back and the even the sides have been done, probably used 00 sized cloaca as their weapon and more than one assailant. They even flew the coop without leaving any other evidence, not even a feather. This needs to be booted up to command and the Mob Squad to see if there are other related attacks and see if the victim has any previous history with chickens, geese, Guinea fowl or peacocks, maybe there was a Sunday roast or rotisserie and that’s ignited this war.

That's not quite a storm, it more light preshititation..

Effing Starlings! They were a nuisance when I lived in Illinois.

IIRC, they were imported from England (70-100+ years ago) to knock out some pest or other, but became the pests themselves.

Looks like a bowl (no pun intended) of Sutliff Creme Brulee dottle to me. Interesting choice to use an ashtray that's in the shape of a toilet, and the correct size to boot.

Is this photo of the mess that @anotherbob has mentioned having to clean up in the past?

Not that far off to be honest.

Photo deleted. We see enough crap in the news.

If you want to see it—and I recommend you don't—click on link in Theironmonkey's post, but don't say you haven't been warned.

I didn't think robots could poop, which birds obviously are.

What a shitty day. One is bad enough! My dad got pooped on while driving, through the sunroof, on his head.
And I have a local cardinal that comes by every summer, to completely obliterate my car mirrors. You know, battling the "other" male. Funfact-- The red color on the beak of a cardinal WILL come off, if its slammed into something , long enough. Oh and it's not easy to clean the...Beak...dust?...off.

Just for context, if anybody cares, my comment was in reference to the since deleted photo. To those who saw the photo ; nuff said!

I had a word with Rishi and he says we'll have our starlings back on the condition you have all your grey squirrels back .
