Default Repair advice? Bird on car

I think this is a mourning dove, we have them in the yard.

Any suggestions on how to repair this? I walked past him several times, even with the dog, and he won't budge.

Probably if I talk to him about IMSB risks he'll go away.






It seems to be a recurring problem, this is from about a year ago, in the same garage space.

At least you're not getting crapped on. Once i parked under a tree and when i returned i must have had over 30+ bird crap over the entire car. I could barely get the windshield clean enough to drive straight home to wash crap off.

That's the dreaded rear main dove seal! Leave him several dove tail joints.... To smoke.... And then bag him up when he's good and toasty!

Just repair your garage door, first.

Unfortunately I've seen this issue before, both your engine and transmission need to be replaced.

pick him up and bring him outside.

Then give him a stern talking. Point the finger a lot. Other hand on hip.

Afterwards you'll probably be able to lure him out with some Dove chocolate.

For sure, because once that conversation starts is typically "When Doves Cry..."

After you successfully remove the bird, make sure to clean the area thoroughly with Dove soap.

I'd try a turkey baster. But only after replacing your engine mounts.
