Has a bird ever pooed on your head?

It’s happened to me twice. Twice! It’s not good luck, that’s what people it hasn’t happened to say to people it has happened to. No one I know has ever admitted it’s happened to them.

Yep. Shipyard worker so gulls shit on people's heads quite regularly. One of my follicularly challenged colleagues has been attacked the gulls too, as they go for his shiny head!

Yes during a "romantic" carriage ride through Central Park with DH Grin

puzzledpiece · 24/07/2020 21:39

Yes a bloody seagull. Enormous runny poo

IAintentDead · 24/07/2020 21:41

A few times - but twice in Whitby. They are bright birds and they do it deliberately to get you to drop whatever it is you're eating.

Cheeky fuckers

Iwonder777 · 24/07/2020 22:30

Yes it was horrific. On my babies head too 😂

LER83 · 24/07/2020 22:30

Yes! Seagull right on top of my head! I was about 4 at the time. Like a pp it was Ayr beach, we had gone on a day trip, it was about 2 hours from home! I was made to sit with my head pointing towards the open window all the way home. I remember being really upset as everyone was laughing and saying I stank!

Once years ago when I was late teens or early twenties, a pigeon I think. At the start of a day in town and I had no tissues. When I touched my hair and my hand came back brown I panicked and just rubbed it in as I had brown hair so I figured it wouldn't show. A few hours later back home I just had an early shower Blush

Once a couple of years ago on the walk to school dropping the dc off. It was all down my back.

A bat once pood on DD at the zoo when she was 4. She was terrified of them for years afterward.

Many times

ThatDamnScientist · 24/07/2020 22:40

Once, I was about 7. I was walking back from school to my nanas and I cried!! She laughed whilst cleaning it out of my hair and told me I was obviously in for some luck!

RoaryMouth · 24/07/2020 22:42

Last week! I walking under some trees when it happened. Waiting on my good luck. About the third time I think.

Megan2018 · 24/07/2020 22:42

It happened to me when I was 5/6 in Page Park in Bristol. I was really upset but was told it was lucky by my mum and I have been a very lucky person all my life to be fair!
Every time something good happens I think about that bird Grin

AnneLovesGilbert · 24/07/2020 22:43

Why does this repeatedly happen to some of us?

Only once. Unfortunately I was playing shit head in Caracas bus station at the time. Needless to say I lost!

Just off the train in Paris, first time there, very excited. Took a step out of the Gare du Nord and a pigeon shat in my hair. Elderly French lady stopped, pointed and said “pigeon”. She did not have a tissue and neither did I.

teaandcustardcreamsx · 24/07/2020 22:50

I’ve been lucky...really lucky. One time during a fair at school a bird shit on my shoes. My new shoes. Then one time I was walking in the park happy as Larry if only next thing I know there’s bird shit all over my favourite ring Envy (not envy).

Although I do try to prevent it. I rarely take of my hat and have a spare just in case. Although there was one time a friend of mine was shat on by a bird the second she walked through the school gates...we had our first DofE the next day Grin (no one was shat on during any expeditions, but said friend also managed to get sheep shit in her eye Grin)

AnnaSW1 · 24/07/2020 22:54

Yep!

Thegingerpig · 24/07/2020 22:57

Got pooed on when leaving the park with my DC’s. There was seriously loads of it on my head and I only had one small tissue with me. The DC’s thought it was hilarious. I was grateful that the poo was brown, the same colour as my hair so I don’t think it was too obvious on the walk home!

FattyBoom · 24/07/2020 23:03

Sadly yes! Walking down the street in Brighton and a low flying seagull comes straight at me, releasing its load just above my head. It was dripping from my hair. My brother and husband thought it was HILARIOUS!!

thedalaisllama · 24/07/2020 23:05

No but one did poo on my boyfriends head on our first date GrinGrin

Northernsoullover · 24/07/2020 23:09

A seagull shat on me in the centre of town as I was heading to the pub. I didn't know what it was at first because I was actually in such pain from the hit I actually thought someone had thrown a rock at me. It landed on my head, shoulders, back and ran into the heel of my show.
Bastard.

Fifthtimelucky · 24/07/2020 23:23

It's happened to me a couple of times. The first time was years ago when I was private secretary to a cabinet minister. We were at a London railway station just about to board a train, when a pigeon flew over and pooed in my hair and all down my jacket.

Not a good start to the day but at least they saw it happen so knew that I had started off the day looking clean and smart!

Bupkis · 24/07/2020 23:29

I have been bird crapped twice - once just before by Religious Studies O Level - bird shat on my shoulder and the bible I was holding.
Second time a bird crapped in my ear....it was really loud and hard. Fuck knows how it hit my head at that angle, but my ear was full of bird shit and it was splattered all over my black cardigan. My children have never laughed so hard.

Bingowin · 24/07/2020 23:31

Yep. Last summer a seagull shat all over my face! Luckily I had sunglasses on so if didn't go into my eyes. Hideous!

Ginfordinner · 24/07/2020 23:35

Yes. Many years ago a starling did the deed on my head in the middle of Bradford.
