Default bird shit

ever since i had my trans am, i always had it parked on the street underneath a tree. I have never gone 2 complete days without a bird shitting on my car. What are some ways I can scare birds away from this tree. here are some things you should know....

-Due to village regulations, i cant cut the tree down. Nor would my parents appreciate that.
-I cant park my car anywhere else
-Im going to trim some branches once autumn rolls around and the leaves all fall off
-I have a plastic owl sitting on a low branch, but that will get moved up once all the leaves fall off and i can climb up the tree.


Is there like a repellent i can use the keep these damn birds away? I cant keep cleaning my car because it covered in bird shit.

car cover or don't wash your car j\k
It is a large tree? Here were I work they put some type of netting around the top of the tree covering the branches, you can hardly tell it's there. They had to do it to keep the birds from crapping on people and covering the sidewalk with there crap.
Or car cover may be the best option.

i just read that if you hang up cd's, or aluminum pie trays, or anything shiny and reflective, it will deter birds. i might have to try that. i want like a spray or something that i could use. i wonder if what would happen if i spray cat piss all over three haha

and yeah, its somewhat of a big tree. not wide, but atleast 30-40 feet tall

My neighbor has a realistic plastic owl to deter birds. The birds just sit on the plastic owl and crap on its head.
