I had the pleasure of a gang of ducks (or some other bird with big poop) molest the bow of my boat. Mind you they didn't have the manners to just poop on the deck, but I think these were "gang ducks" as they smeared it all over the deck... I even think they wrote duck gang symbols in the stuff. The stuff ended up drying and I've spent an hour getting the crap off. What is in that stuff? I think there might be a market for this stuff as an industrial adhesive.
 
It's not as bad as the "berry bird crap" that is red and stains the deck.
 
Our sheds are completely enclosed with a roll down curtain and the damn swallows still fly under the curtains and poop on the bow as they perch on the rails. Pisses me off so I installed some Mylar ribbons and pinwheels but they just laugh at them......and poop.
 
Try soft scrub and just wax the area again afterwards.
 
The floating rats take over our dock. Thank heavens for pressure washers. They haven't discovered our swim platform yet. I'm surprised that they ended up on Gary's bow, they usually swim and then like to do a short hop. But then again my neighbor once had a duck come down his chimney and exit through the ash door in the basement. It was one po'd bird.

After more than 20 years sharing an environment with sea birds, I don't need a chemical analysis to know that crap from any bird that can swim is at least 50% epoxy. THe only real cure is a 12 ga., but unfortunately, most sea birds are protected.
 
Thank your lucky stars you don't have pelicans. :)
 
I am in a never ending battle to keep these little bastards out of my pool. I have tried fake owls, fake swans,floating crap, twine across the pool. I started to shop for manicans that I was going move around the deck. I would get up in the morning and find them cleaning themselves in my pool and I would run out and throw things at them. I finally gave up with those tactics. Now I keep a bb gun next the door. Now if i could only get my wacko neighbor down the street to stop feeding them.

THINK .....pet gator
works well for ducks AND annoying neighbors :wink:
 
I have a Convertible Corvette and one sunny day a large bird, I'm assuming a Chicken Hawk, either unloaded his previous nights feast on me or poured a pot of mushroom soup on me. Not a good day for me, spent a days pay on Armorall. My Wife always wears a large hat when the tops downs now.
 
I have mulberry trees all around me
add in the cottonwood fuzz to stick in the razberry slime and in looks pretty disgusting
 
Ducks are CONSTANTLY in my pool. The ONLY thing that works to keep them out is a Dog....a Dog that is trained to HATE ducks.....

My problem is that the admiral won't let FiFi (aka:The Pit) spend the summers living outdoors....
 
Just throw bird seed and bread on your neighbors boats....yours will stay nice and clean.
(please dont...you might be next to me one day)

A few weeks ago I was at the local pump out station and was very proud that I was able to remove the hose and get it off the boat without spilling a single drop. Well as soon as I finished rolling up the hose a gull came over and bombarded my cockpit, it got the seats, deck and bimini. Cleaned it immediately with Spray 9 but still left a stain that lasted a few days until the sun bleached it out. In the past I've had gulls leave me presents (fish heads) on my foredeck, may be some kind of Sicilian thing.
 
That yellow powder stuff in Kraft mac & cheese stains/sticks about the same. I'm wondering if their "secret ingredient" is duck poop.
 
I’ve had seagull drop crabs and clams on my bow to break them open.. That makes a pretty big mess.

At home we have a problem with Grackles dumping the fecal sacs (they look like clam bellies….) of their young in our pool, We must have 20 nest in our area based on how much sh!t ends up in or around the pool, the only good thing is they stay together and it’s easy to scoop them out.
 
My issue is Canada Geese. They crap everywhere. Mornings are fun as the walkways are a virtual minefield until the marina staff get out to clean it up.

They don't like it when we walk along the dicks or walkways and interrupt their slumped or tanning and can turn and come at you. I kick them.

Then they take off in flight and...crap on our boats. It takes a ton of elbow grease to remove the stain from the deck.

Geese are just big ducks in my opinion!
