Car Colors Most Pooped on by BirdsIf youre looking to buy a new car, then buyer beware.
Birds do have a color preference when it comes to targeting their droppings.
A study in England found that red cars are the most likely target of bird poop, followed by blue and black.
Green cars were the least likely targeted by birds.
So be careful where you park. And if all else fails, consider buying a white car

I believe this. My Tesla is red and is parked under a tree. It gets pooped on a lot.

It seemed logical that they might mistake white or silver for water or water shimmers.

all over my SUV. People at school would ask me why I didn,t park in the garage. I told them I did.
