Damn Birds!!!!

So for some reason the birds have decided to make their perch on the mirrors of my super duty, and then crap all over the mirrors and the sides of it. They also must try to wrestle with the mirrors because I can barely see out them when I am done. Has this ever happened to anyone else? Also besides shooting them ( i am not a good shot) how do I get them to stop?

Do you have folding mirrors? If so fold them in.

I agree on folding. Brother in law had same thing happening with his. They would sit and look at themselves in the mirror.

Could always put a bag of some type over the mirrors if folding them in doesn't work. I have birds sitting on my tires all the time but no pooping issue.

Hang a couple of these off your mirrors, the changing light pattern keeps them away. Back in the day we used to hang foil pie tins in the garden for the same reason and it worked.
