So how come bird droppings never manage to land on our heads? |
|
You know, it's never once ever happened to anybody I know, and I've asked many...
'course they think I'm a little weird, but that's not my problem...

Years ago, I was at an outdoor wedding and this guy was standing under a tree and got crapped on by an owl.

2. Wel...it's happened to me. Yuck! |
|
And on my shoulders, AND on my arms!
Birds like to shit on me, I guess.

3. There are certain people whom God has chosen to suffer that fate. |
|
It is all of our hope not to be among that group of individuals who get shat on by birds

6. That has happened to most who've worked in shrimp boats... |
|
including me. Seagulls throng around the boats when you cull the trash fish.

10. What are you talking about? |
|
A seagull got me right on the head once while I was walking on a beach in Florida. Then the little bugger flew off, sounding for all the world like he was laughing! Why did I not have a BB gun when I needed one? :grr:

11. My grandfather got hit by a bird |
|
My sister and I were in his backyard with him. It was especially funny since the bird hit him right when he took off his hat and scratched his head.

33. For some reason, convertibles with black roofs seem to be a special |
|
target.
I swear the winged bastards target my car. I have never had so much bird poop on any other car I've ever owned, but for some inexplicable reason, they seem to target the black soft top every time I leave my car parked in an uncovered parking lot.
There will be NO poop on any other car in the vicinity but mine.
It's crazy, I tell ya, crazeeee.

18. I've seen birds poop on strange body parts |
|
For examples, I've been crapped on by a bird twice and both times it was on the shoulder. Once my son was in the backseat of the car and I was driving and we had all the windows down and bird crapped and the crap came in the window and splattered on his chest. He freaked. I had to pull the car over and clean him off. He was around 10 at the time. It was pretty gross. The funniest one was once me and a friend were laying on the beach and the sun started to set and the seagulls came swooping around. I told her we should leave before we got crapped on. She ignored me and was laying on her stomach reading a book and sure enough a bird pooped and it landed right on her butt - dead center. It was funny and gross. We left the beach right away LOL.

It happened to me last summer in Paris. I was right out in front of the Louvre and got hit right on the top of my head. Luckily I was wearing a hat.
I guess not many people can say say a bird crapped on them in front of the Louvre.

26. because we're usually wearing hats? |
|
i've certainly had their little gifts fall on me and seen them fall on others, but we wear hats in birdy areas to protect against sun, glare, and yes the little gifts
maybe you don't go outside so much during migration?

29. "we" is birders correct? |
|
clearly if you are not in an area where you are in danger of having great numbers of birds overhead you don't see the value of hats because the sky is a big place and your head a little place
however the serious birder in a serious migration situation wears a hat!

31. I've seen that happen!!! |
|
When I was still in school, I worker during the summers at an amusement park. It was a great summer job. And, one day, another girl and I were taking our lunch break, sitting under a tree. Suddenly, a huge amount of bird crap lander right on my friend, from overhead! Yikes! It was horribly disgusting and killed my appetite for a long time to come! And my poor friend was more than a little traumatized...:puke:

On the bright side, I didn't let me bother toooooo much and we ended up winning the tournament.

34. Happened to me, courtesy of a seagull. |
|
Hit my head, my face, and my glasses. Closest restroom had NO mirror, so I had to clean myself off using the Braille method. Fortunately, the hotel I was staying in was less than a block away, so I hied myself back to my room, and hit the shower. Gak! I hope that damned bird got his jollies, 'cause next time I see him........
