Just heard this on the SAFM news and tracked down the source:

Huge parking lot at work.
Not a lot of birds usually fly around the area.
I walk to my car and a bloody pterodactyl has dumped its load on my car.
My car also happens to be red, coincidence? I think not!! Its a conspiracy!

My car is red and it does get crapped on often. I don't know if that is because it's red though. Interesting though.

Maybe red is easier for birds to see than any other colour so easier to aim and fire.

It's not that they deliberately poop more on red cars. They just poop, the colour red has been known to attract sh.it

Yeah but you forget a red car with birdpoop still looks better than any other color without.

I read articles already where they said white cars get pooped on the most...

the question is ... does a red car look dirty quicker or not..

A dirty red car looks like a red car that is dirty
A dirty white car looks a clean brown car .

I certainly notice dust build up about 3-4 days after a wash.

Agreed, I had a dark red metallic Golf which showed dust badly, can't say it attracted bird poop though. Maybe the wind in PE puts their aim off
