How to prevent birds from ALWAYS shitting on your car?
So it's happened a couple times in the past where my car got shat on, but never too frequently that it really pissed me off. Recently it's been every single fucking day without fail, exact same spot where I park my car in my driveway. Looked online and asked around, ended up buying 2 owls to place beside my car to scare off the birds lol. Didn't work, still got shat on the next morning.
Always the 2 spots closest to my garage get shit on, when I swapped spots with my gf, her car got shat on too. My mom's car parks beside mine, and her mirror is just forever covered in shit. There are no trees near the driveway at all, nothing directly on top of my car. No power lines or anything, just clear sky. The bird shit is always on the one spot, they like to sit on the mirror and shit on the mirror/door. I wash it off every day, and every morning before I go to work they will have already shit on it.
My mom doesn't care about her car, so she leaves it and I don't think it has actually gotten new bird shit on it now. I clean my car every time I see bird shit on it, especially since I just recently reinsured it, so it's always shiny.
Does anyone know how I can prevent bird shit on my car LOL... I'm tired of having to wash it off everyday and I hate what it's doing to my paint. Exact same spot every time. I've folded my mirror in, and now I'm thinking of trying to place a microfiber on top of the mirror so it's less shiny where they usually sit on (don't know if that will help).
Open to alllll suggestions, I have no where else to really park because my driveway is full, and the street parking near my house always gets covered in tree sap which I also want to avoid. Fuck.
cut a piece of cardboard and just cover the spot that always gets shit on

Propane Cannon starting at 6am!
I used to work on a blueberry farm and they used a variety of noise makers from electronic predatory bird calls to propane cannons to scare the birds away.

The birds land on the side mirror?
As suggested, if it's really only in one spot, I would just make a cardboard cover and put it on top of the mirror. Or even better, attach bird spikes on the cardboard cover.
Or cover your entire car.
Doesn't have to be a Ferrari. Be creative and do whatever car you want. Same idea.

Fake owls don't do anything unless they move.
Yes I'm sure the city inspector would not mind you blasting a 150db cannon in residential neighbourhood.
Update: Microfiber on the mirror actually works! No more bird shit since I left the microfiber on my side mirror. But today I went outside to find out that the wind blew off both microfibers, and was once again covered in bird shit lol. Maybe I'll get a microfiber glove or something to put on the mirror.
cats also love climbing on top of cars, especially the dirty filthy ones that don't have trimmed claws...

Yes they do. Stupid neighbors cat scratched my rat Rolla that I keep parked on the driveway occasionally. Big ass scratch marks all on the hood and one side where the damn thing climbed up.
I think the cat doesn't like my dogs so it purposely comes to fuck with our shit.
do you think you can put up with the hassle of using a car cover every day? it's a pain in the ass but it is pretty much the 100% solution at this point....
