I refuse to park under trees for many reasons. Bird crap is one thing..... falling branches is another.


Its a dry dry season, and gum trees are known to drop some pretty big branches as a way to save themselves during droughts.


I have told my supervisors that I will not not park out in the street or under the trees in the carpark due to these reasons, and if there isnt a "open space" in the carpark I will sit out there and wait until there is one. Either that, or I will send them the repair/cleaning bills.

In Qld we have Fig trees (not your eating kind) and fruit bats - Batshite is worse than bird shite - bigger, browner, and messier - and eats the paint

Thank God cows don't fly

If you live near water, watch out for pelicans. Like seagulls, but they eat more and thus....

I would not want to wash all that off! Imagine how screwed the paint would be under that by the time you went to sell it.

Have you ever smelled pelican poo? THere isn't a more disgusting thing on this planet I don't reckon. Smells like essence of rotting fish, mixed with the usual lovely palette of fecal odours.

Anyone living north of the Tropic of Capricorn would know how bad the bat crap can be. The more fruit they eat (Mangos etcetera), the more acidic it gets. It's really bad on clear coats over metallics, I saw a mate's vectra haver its clear coat eaten off even though he washed it within 2 hours of the bat poo being spotted, so probably 4 hours of exposure.

All garage work involves equal measures of enthusiasm, ingenuity and a fair degree of irresponsibility.

Currawong crap rules in the ACT. Worse than what is at on "Hill" in the Parliamentry triangle
If left on your paintwork, just about requires an angle grinder to get it off

I remember a little while ago, id just cleaned my car and decided to go for a lap into town that night, whilst sitting at a set of traffic lights a bat crap on my car.... Fortunatly, i was able to get to my mates Bar on the esplanade and get some towels to clean it off with.... Then once i got home that night i had to wash the car again.... We need to construct more overhead powerlines so they get zapped in them more often!!!!
