So I happened to park literally right outside my office this morning. My car is about 5m away from me. It's a nice, bright, sunny day, so I left the roof open.
Yep, I just SAW a bird dive-bomb it, with my own two eyes. Out of all the hundreds of square meters of lush green grass, big, mostly-empty parking lot, and full, inviting woods nearby it has to pick MY CAR to use as its personal toilet. Son of a...
Sigh, guess I'm on poop duty now. berkeleying vermin.
Could be worse.
You could have been in the car when it happened.
At least it wasnt a homeless person that did it.

Maybe 13 years ago, my dad was driving two of my friends and I to my birthday party (I was turning 12 or something, who knows) and we were in the Mustang. The top was down and there was apparently a bull's eye right on my friend's shoulder. The bird had apparently been eating blue berries. Lots of them. I LOLd.

HOTLINKED!!!
A few years ago, I was driving along with the windows and sunroof open. I saw something out of the corner of my eye and before I knew it, I was struck in the side of the head by an entire bird. We just happened to cross paths at the same moment.
I braked hard and pulled over. I was still seeing stars. The bird was perched on the shift knob, probably feeling about the same as I was. We looked at each other for a moment and he flew out the sunroof.
Come on, birds don't understand English over there... you have been saying that your Lotus is the s h i t since you got it... he was simply mistaken.
That's why I always just pull the top up when I'm not in the car. I don't latch it always. But it keeps out the bird poop.

Jay, birds need a hobby too. 
Too bad they don't make full cockpit tonneau's for cars anymore....

It also keeps some of the sun out so the seats don't get too hot. I do that all the time in the Miata...pull it up, don't latch.
Yeah, but I like to leave it down on dry days. Evapourates the water out of the carpet that was let in during the last rainfall.
(BTW turns out the bird missed the cockpit after all. Nailed the top stowage cover though.)
Lubbock, Texas is on a flyway for Canada geese. The playa lakes are full of them during the migration.
When they take off, they lighten their loads.
En masse.
Bad for the folks who live right next to the lakes ...
they're not vermin, they're.........Dinosaurs!
Still, one has to admire the natural skill involved in dive bombing. Pilots have been practicing the dynamics for decades. Much the same as carving the perfect cone or cresting an apex just right, it is a practiced talent.
In other words, your car has been deemed a proper course, and the offending bird has just received Fastest Time Of Day..
this story belongs on fml
i wish my fowl encounter was more like yours..
Must have been one of those rare rock eating birds......
Just so I can be the first...
That will buff right out!
Satuday night, we rode our bikes to dinner with some friends. Left my helmet on the seat. After dinner, I discovered bird poop across the top and all over the face shield.
Just be glad elephants cant fly.
Got whacked in the windshield by one of our fine feathered friends on Sunday afternoon. I'm just glad it was a little one.
Buddy of mine was going to work one morning, walks out to the car (lift up type door handles) and a bird crapped in his palm. He goes back in the house, washes his hands, grabs his .22 and a box of ammo and woke up half the street. He was PISSED. 
My sister got a load of bird poopie on her cheek and in her mouth when looking out the window as my mom backed up . When we [ 3 older brothers] got in the car my mom couldn't even talk and had tears running down her face . You better not have a mouth full of milk when the story comes around at family functions .
