Thumbs down Birds problem

Hi all ,

I'm noticing a very weird problem regarding birds , it is not birds leftover , its something new . One day I was going to the Gym on friday at noon , and I hit a pigeon with my side mirror !

Last friday another weird thing happened , I was going to my friend's house to pick him up and travel to another country and a bird flew into the car , while I was going 60 kph , and his head hit the head rest so he died !

These things never happened to me on my other car , so what do you think ? Bad luck ? Or weird car aerodynamics ?

I thought this was a joke at first. You should invest in a dash cam!

US spec vehicles don't have the bird option! LOL. That is just nuts. I have heard of birds crapping all over cars, and even birds going crazy in the side view mirrors because they can see themselves. But nothing to match the not one, but two stories you have!

Maybe your car is possessed? Exorcism might get rid of evil spirits. Have you seen the movie The Conjuring? Pigeons and crows striking the house for no reason.

Not going to lie. When I clicked this thread, I thought you would be talking about birds taking a crap on your car but obviously I was completely wrong.

Unfortunately it will not catch these things as the birds came from an angle , also I may not be able to use the car inside the company since it is not allowed to take pictures there .

I haven't hit a bird in years and have hit 2 since I've had my IS for 2 weeks.

Yes , it was a head on collision with the head rest , luckily no damage happened to the car . Unfortunately the bird didn't survive due to a broken nick probably .

The Omen. I get these yellow dabs from either trees or bird remains. After a wash i noticed they leave a yellow unremovable stain. I'll see if claying helps.

Smile Birds problem

Turn up the power on your deflector shields and set phasers to stun.

the small, yellow dabs are not from trees nor birds, but rather from bees!
