Birds attacking trucks.

Both my silver trucks the F450 and Tacoma started getting attacked by birds. They are just black birds. I have thrown pellets, but can't throw pellets when I have to go inside. The birds attack the front windows and mirrors on both trucks.
They attack my dad's white Dodge truck 125 miles away.
How do I keep them away permanently
Thank you

I bought one of these, and it definitely helped.

Try hanging something flashy from the mirrors. I had a problem with my old 1995 dually some years ago with birds sitting on the mirrors and crappin’ all over the side of my truck. At the time I hung old CD’s, one on a string hung to each side mirror. Birds went away and never came back. I know CD are hard to come by these days but I’ve seen tinsel is used in grape vines or anything highly reflective that moves with the breeze.

Good luck,

Mike

I've had good luck with
scare tape scare tape
, but the ultimate solution is a 22 or buckshot (when they light in a nearby tree of course)
