There is a landfill behind the development that my daughter lives in that attracts vultures. I looked outside and saw them on my F150.

The crapped all over it so I took the truck to the carwash. It didn't get it all off so I had to scrub it by hand. That's when I realized that they had chewed up the plastic between the hood and windshield.

I'm guessing I'd have to pay my deductible, so looks like I'll be checking salvage yards for it.

Wish I could shoot the bastards.
 
Well if you could shoot them this time at least you could try to pass them off as odd sized turkeys.

Man that sucks they chewed on the truck. This reinforces all the references to "Vultures" that you hear about.
 
I'm guessing I need a panel from a 2015 to new F150
 
wow, I was guessing that their crap was so acidic it was ruining the plastic, didnt know they actually were eating it.
 
That may be the only time something like that has been reported on the internet, rotten luck.

It just makes you scratch your head wondering at their stupidity. Like at Walmart.

I'm glad you have a picture to show the insurance company if you need it.
I'll stop complaining about chickadees and crows crapping on my vehicles now. Actually, no I won't.
 
Jeeeez,

Time to go pick up some shotgun shells.

The feathery fawkers have struck again.

I took the pumpkins off the front porch.
 
We have vultures all over the place here in Florida, I've never seen anything like that. 😲
 
damn... again?
 
Yep.

If these feathery fawkers mess with my truck again, there may be more dead birds on thursday besides turkeys!
 
If they were actually landing on it, run some wires like a grid across it, wire a extension cord to it so every other wire is hot (hot-ground-hot-ground-ect) so when they touch both wires- “zap”. (keeps cats off too)

Thats a big sunroof, looks like the whole roof is glass (or WAS)
