Re: What is the best Protection.........for cars finish after Birds pull a Pearl ... (yank dini)

buying a plastic owl and putting it near where you place you're car helps. The owl will scare and keep the birds away.Make sure you get the one that shoots laser beams from its eyes, though. Birds really hate that.

a Digital camera might still be able to work. You can change the shutter speed on most of them. My digital camera allows for an 8 sec shutter. The idea is that the longer the shutter is open, the more light gets into the camera and exposed to the film or CCD.
