Different birds have different habits. You must first find the culprit, learn about it and act.
Owl mockups do not work since most birds dive bomb at speed.
The most important is to pretreat your car with good quality thick waxes. Scavenging bird feces like those of a gull have highly acidic content that attack paints.
As soon as you see it, flush it before it dries. The waxes make for a quick job.

Dont need to know any of this if one knows how to load a BB gun and shoot it.
