I think that birds deliberately vary it depending on who has just washed their car. If you have a black car, the poop is white, a red car the poop is green, a white car the poop is purple... You've obviously spent some considerable time on this topic. Have You thought about getting your observations published? There would clearly be a market for it 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there is quite a market in 's....t'. if it's used wisely and spread thinly it's amazing what benefits it can have and if it's dug in there's no end of improvements it can do. Now a days though there does seem to be an awful lot of it around. Every time you turn on the TV you just can't escape it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted April 3, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 3, 2021 (edited) Last night I sprayed the roof using an automotive dark grey bumper paint unfortunately it highlighted the join, its shiny because its wet This morning I attempted to weathered it and applied a matt varnish Too much? Too little? Needs bird poo? Edited April 3, 2021 by chuffinghell 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expected so, I’ll see what I can do with a little white weathering powder I've cut the ‘glazing’ but it’s not glued in yet, I know in reality the glass wouldn’t be clean but if it were dirty you wouldn’t be able to see in with the roof in place so it’s a compromise 9 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used green powder but I blended it in with the white, black and earth plus the varnish has muted the effect Coupled with my poor photography Edited April 3, 2021 by chuffinghell 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
