Our office is surrounded by large oaks and, apparently, some kind of tree that has purplish berries on it. The last few afternoons, after loading up on glue, a huge flock of birds gorge themselves on these berries and then digest them while perched in the oak my truck is parked under.
Now, please note that I have done nothing in my life to deserve such treatment from birds - unless it's payback for the whole Thanksgiving thing on behalf of their turkey brethren. Which seems a bit of a reach but it's all I can think of.
Because of the glue, a run through the car wash won't do the job. You have to get out and scrape these purple seed splatters off. Having the tree removed seems a bit drastic but shy of cleaning out the Humane Society of all their cats, I can't figure out how to discourage these avians from pooping on my vehicle.
Maybe I could buy one of those paintball guns - that'd serve 'em right. Of course, I'd only use purple paint...
