Birds know better?

OK, that's it. There is a Vast Blackbird Conspiracy against Daimler-Daimler, especially against my brilliant silver C36 parked daily on front of my shop. I have now ample proof: for the past two months, almost every day, I find clearly targeted bird deposits right around the chrome star on front of the hood. Nowhere else. And the damn birds are snickering in the trees around.
Beware, us (poor) owners of the German Machines are now victimized by those fascist flyers. I may have to confectionate an anti BC bra or something. Anyone installed anti aircraft equipment on their C36? I am desperate.

C43
Replace the tri-star/bird perch with a flat emblem. That should do the trick

Nothing
Must definately be the three pointed star. When I had my Golf I had no probs with the birds, but now it looks like it is snowing when my car is parked outside....

EDIT: it seems Opels also have that problem!!

Kamouflage?

Lucky there is a wiper on the rear window, eh?
Konklusion:
-Never park under a tree in a foreign country if you drive a car manufactured under Evil Empire ownership.
-If you chose to do so, shoot a 16-gauge through the tree first.
-Make sure that you are parked next to an exotic restaurant where they can recycle the lead and the birds.

I have no problem really...
