Cars & Transportation Do birds deliberately shit on moving objects?

[grouse mate]

Hi folks, I live near the beach so flocks of seagulls are everywhere, anyway twice now I have been driving minding my own business when I have noticed a seagull fly straight in the direction of my car and launch a turd on my roof or windscreen whilst travelling at around 40km/h or so. Can any birds lovers out there clarify is this normal behaviour or just a bad coincidence? I'm not one to feed these leeches so wondering if this could be related.

Can confirm they do not deliberately shit on moving objects per se

They only deliberately shit on your car

Hope that clears it up for you

Some people consider it good luck.

Only good luck about it is that you weren't looking up with your mouth open.
