Why do birds seem to aim their droppings at your windows just after you've cleaned them!? :P


Yes, I have bird droppings, too, but my worst enemy are the feral cats. They'll sit on top of my truck over the windshield and let it go all over the windshield. To make matters worse, it looks like they slide down the windshield, too, smearing what they have already done.

When a bird poops on me and I'm nowhere near water, forcing a detour back to a source to wash it off. Definitely don't want it to dry on my clothing. This is why I try to avoid walking under telephone lines where birds are sitting. I don't want it to happen again.

Why do the birds using the feeder drop half the seeds on the ground? I use the hanging feeder because I don't want to fatten up the wood pigeons but due to the little birds being messy the pigeons get lots of food. *sigh*

When I was young I had a parakeet that would sit at his feeding cup and scatter seeds all over the bottom of the cage and on the floor. A few years ago, I had a nice bird sanctuary in my back yard. Several feeders with different kinds of seed, dried fruit and veggies. I had a platform filled with different kinds of nuts still in the shell. During mating season, I'd put out nesting material. All that changed when the feral cats moved in and started killing the birds for the sake of killing, not always for survival.

Anyway, I would watch the birds feeding through a pair of binoculars. The birds wouldn't just flick through the seeds, they would scatter them, like the parakeet. I don't know if they are trying to tell you they don't like the food being served. I also had a lot of ground feeders visiting my back yard, so they got what they needed, too.

Woodpeckers don't have the ability to perch. I found a feeder specifically designed for them. They were the neatest eaters.
