Default Maybe this belongs in the Forced Induction section?

Ok, Ok, ... so technically I have a Firebird...
does that dictate that all birds must flock to me while I'm driving??? In the past 2 weeks I've had 2 birds literally hurl themselves into the front end of my Trans Am while I'm buzzing down the road just minding my own business. It's not like I'm in their airspace...sure the T/A can fly...but it stays on the road. <img border="0" alt="[Pontiac]" title="" src="graemlins/formula.gif" />
It's not like it was a cat or something and I veered off the road through a cornfield to hunt him down....they are just birds!! <img border="0" alt="[angel]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_angel.gif" />
Does anyone know of a bolt-on kinda like the ones that are for scaring away deer??? Do they make something like that for birds too??? <img border="0" alt="[guns]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" />

This will get the best responses in the appearance section. The bolt-on forum is geared towards performance mods.

Maybe you need to stick the giant Firechicken logo on the front of your car, so it will scare away the birds, kinda like what they do on buildings with big windows. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

I know you are looking for a serious answer, but I had to. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Well....I think I have figured out what the bird problem is...I drive a Ford POS van, (that my employer provides), for work every day and wouldn't you know ANOTHER stupid bird tried to commit suicide using the van this morning on the way to the job....maybe it isn't just my
"FireChicken"....it might actually be ME they are after!!! There might just be some truth to that

Sorry to hear about your bird woes, it sure seams like they have something against, you. Heck at least they attach only the vehicles you drive, it would hurt if you got nailed just walking around.
