Ummm... huge mess on our van this morning... any ideas?

We woke up this morning to find this on our van. It looks like a bird flock had diarrhea right above it or something. Does that sound reasonable, or is there another explanation for this?

Japanophobic seagulls? Perhaps a flock of Baltimore Ravens?

I wonder if there's an easy home test to identify bird poop? The nose might work but that stuff is weird.

Seems like it would be hard to get a milkshake to leave that sort of pattern.

Not too hard to get a milkshake to form that pattern if it's dropped. How you ask? Mayhaps an African swallow?

I'll bet there are or have been people who would do that. Something to do with game no doubt.

I taste for anti-freeze on the driveway, horrible taste, have to rinse the mouth really well. What do you look for on spark plugs?

Just pure luck the Buick did not get hit. Or they were a little off that day.

If there is something tall beside it where birds could rest and poop, perhaps it is poop. Sometimes they have brown stuff to go with the white.

If nothing tall, perhaps it's something milky or with eggs.

Either way, clean it up ASAP!

I have no clue, but the idea energizes my imagination. You might want to ask around the forum for a certain member who was testing his ignition circuit
