Every day, not most days, but every day he is out there. He gets his schmutz all over my outside mirrors, and craps all over the car. And he doesn't just check it out and leave. He stays on the car. I can walk out there at any time, and there he is. Buzzing one mirror, or the other, or walking on the roof. But always there.
I don't mind so much, but I don't like seeing his schmutz when I'm actually using the mirror. And don't like his crap all over the car.
I was considering bringing in my son's pellet gun. He has a competition style pellet gun that would make quick work of the bird. The cardinal always flies away when I walk up, into the same tree about 30 yards away.
Does anyone have a solution other than shootin' a bird?
Mount a big fake owl on the roof?
