Bird Issue

[bluejeans]

I have a problem with magpies landing on the roof/sunroof of my car and literally sliding down my windscreen like its some kind of ride..

they have started leaving small scratches on the paint work between the sunroof and windscreen of car and also started to peck away at my sunroof mouldings..

I replaced all my wiper blades today due to they have grabbed ahold of them and ripped them so they resemble long worms..

Does anyone know of any kind of product i could apply to the area to stop them in the mean time while i work out how much it will be to replace the rubber around the sunroof?

someone told me just spray some poison on it.. but then again I dont know if it would dis-colour the rubber area or if it would damage it...

shotgun?

[teK--]

Bitter agent might work. We bought it from the vet to spray on my dog's wounds after an operation so he wouldn't pick on the stitches. I accidentally got some in my face and it tastes RANK. We have also sprayed it on furniture after he started biting the leather couch and it didn't discolour anything.... perhaps try it on something inconspicuous first like on your tyre sidewall before you put it on your sunroof rubber. In any case the rubber's already chewed so you got nothing to lose if you discolour it...

Rat poison + oats or any grains the birds might eat.

bitter agent won't work on magpies mate, sorry to disappoint you. We used the horse stuff for our dog's bowl to stop them and it didn't phase them one bit. Best thing I can think of to stop them is a car cover if this is at home.

What if you build a scarecrow and put it onto your sunroof? lol

chilly garlic oil , it works wonders for cats to

That sucks man! I know that Kreosote works on horses... you will have to paint anything specifically to prevent damage to paint. OR maybe rig up an electric fence shocker? Should keep them off

[xALmoN]

maybe you can garage your car?

[bluejeans]

lol well all these ideas are good but lol i dunno how ima get a scarecrow to stick to the roof!

lol maybe conbine and make an electric scarecrow!!

im thinking car cover might be the best bet - problem is at the moment its parked on a street in a quiet suburb and no were else to park due to garage is full

otherwise it would be garaged

[JEPPE]

Yeah also even though a car cover is a good idea, I never bothered to put one on my bike let alone a car, who can be stuffed! Maybe just a little cover for the roof that you can lock in with the doors? Quick and easy and will probably do the job

Lol, well, just get a car cover i guess, prevents them stupid birds from f**king with your car.

its pretty clear they dont like r33's ... perhalps put one of those rb20 inside stickers on the windscreen and trick them into thinking its an r32!
