Has anyone else notice that their Scion Xb attracts birds? At first I thought I just had a crazy bird that live near my house. The bird would sit on the top of my roof and peck at the car while parked in the front of my house. Then I started noticing birds doing the same thing while my car was parked in my companies parking lot. Of course in every incident they relieve their selves leaving a mess for me to wash. Could it be that the birds are attracted to the specs that are in the paint?

 

I had 2 small birds smash into my the side of my car when I was driving down the highway a couple months ago. They were flying about 2 feet off the ground perpendicular to the rooad. I guess they thought they could beat me but they smashed into the passenger side back door instead. I saw them fall to the ground in the rearview mirror and get run over by the car behind me. No damage to my door though... Poor birds

 

Specs? Maybe its the wash or wax you use, or maybe your XB so sexy the birds just cannot help themselves.

Um, RIP birds....

 

LOL NHGrafx, belive me I have a heart, and love wild birds (HATE them as pets) but thats just funny...
My xb deff gots a lot of bird crap. as for pird pecking your car, Black, maybe things they like to eat fall onto the very flat roof we have and dont slide or roll off as easily?
i dont know

 

Someone at work suggested that I get a bobble head raven or owl to sit on my car to scare away the birds when it is parked.

 

lol you guys are tooo funny! my stomach hurts! my car doesnt get that much crap on it...*knocks on wood*....but when i do get crap on it, its aroundthe handle

 

Particularly with dark cars, some birds will peck at them because they see their reflection in the paint and think it's another bird.

 

My 2 cats do that. When they see their refection on the windows in the house, the start scratching and clawing at them.

 

...but when i do get crap on it, its aroundthe handle


The birds in your neighborhood either got good aim (if they were trying to get your handle) or not taken in account for windage if they are aim for your roof

 

Funny subject I just watched a humming bird yesterday buzz all around the BSP.
I think he was puttin the moves on his reflection He was all around it for a long time. No peckin action. Good thing, that paint doesn't need any help commin off

Now the bugs love the SY box. I think they want to pollinate it

 

i haven't attracted any birds...but when i'm washing my box it does attract flies and ladybugs.

 

I've never noticed birds near my box or on it or flying past it - until, i read this post. Since then I have almost hit three birds in the past two days. Power of suggestion or spring bird fever?

 

Birds Love to poop on my car every time i wash it within 15-30 mins they bomb it ...also the weekend after i got it there was a huge butterfly invasion here in so cal . i was going to my sister in laws house in trabuco canyon and had dead butterflys all over my car. i felt bad for the butterflys what a mess they made ...

 

I thought it was just me!

Every time I walk out to my car I have two or three birds chillin around it (not to mention all the damn bugs!). It's so funny! I think they think it's a flower or something

 

I hear you there...

 

I'm glad I don't have that problem.

 

I don't know about birds, but the windshield sure loves bugs.

 

I have the same problem. I am fearing the comment "Look, even bird-brains think it's crappy" or something.

 

hey man nice poop seriously i like the cf door handles are those just vinyl or is it real cf it really hard to tell with the poop right there... where did you get them ??? thanks alot

 

Don't know about birds, but I know the yellow RS 2.0's will attract a lot of bees. My wifes Jeep sure does so beware!
