Dive-Bombing Camaro birds? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Suskam · 06-30-2009, 11:31 AM

I gotta ask this - has anyone else had birds dive-bombing their Camaro as they drive?! At first I thought it was a weird coincidence, but it keeps happening. The first week I drove it, a couple of them would dive into the path of my car, down in front of the grill. I had to pull over once to see if there was bird guts all over my grill. It's really weird. My wife thinks it's a noise that the car makes that is attracting them. She didn't believe me either, until it happened while she was in the passenger seat. Anybody else have this strange problem? Any ideas??

What species? This need video lol.

Maybe they just have good taste and are trying to bomb a little poop as a sign of affection?

Idk man, but I'm convinced any dark color car, blue/gray/black etc. Their just attracted to them, bc my truck (dark blue) has gotten this before, and birds tend to crap on dark colors too. Dunno if its just me or not lol.

I raised a duckling to adulthood once.

Taught her to crap on only one car.

Toyota Prius.

the birds only seem to crap on my truck when it's clean. haven't had any on the camaro yet, knock on wood.

Suskam · 06-30-2009, 11:52 AM

They're not crapping on it (I guess that would be worse). They just dive toward the front of the car. Maybe they've just never seen a car this cool before.

They probably think the egg crate grill makes a good birdhouse and it's nice and warm in there but it keeps moving on them!

(Check for Birdsnest inside!)

Or maybe there just P.O. about it not being a Pontiac Firebird

hehe!

The first day I had my new black Camaro, I killed a bird which flew into my path. I wasn't going that fast and I tried to avoid it but heard the thunk. Fortunately for me, the Camaro wasn't damaged.

I wonder if the HALO lights are responsible.

colemanvoice · 06-30-2009, 11:57 AM

They're just getting a...get ready for it...a better birds eye view. I know that was terrible, but couldn't resist.

Hasn't happened at night yet, Halo's haven't been on. If bats start doing it, something is definitely up!
