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.

It’s happened to me a few times. The worst wasn’t one my head but on my shoulder when I was at the beach in a swimming costume aged 7/8. I didn’t feel it land but then my mum shouted ‘you’ve got loads of sun cream that you haven’t rubbed in’ and I started rubbing it into myself before realising what it was.

My favourite bird poo story is when I went on a dawn chorus walk with the RSPB about a decade ago. A black backed gull did the most unbelievably enormous shit all over the RSPB guide and he was absolutely furious. He kept trying to laugh it off but he was clearly so angry about it. I found the fact he was so angry really funny and myself and my partner at the time ended up abandoning the walk as I couldn’t stop giggling.

No, but a squirrel has.

Hailtomyteeth · 24/07/2020 23:50

At least twice. It's enough to make you wear a hat

It happened my dad on my wedding day as we were walking out of the church. We just had to laugh.

Shoulder and leg. The leg was at least in a bird aviary.

Once walking down a city street, a bird tried to steal my hair from my head. I did not appreciate its commentary on my hairstyle.

No but one dropped a stale stinking tuna sandwich on my head once Envy

I've had birds poop on me 10+ times!! But I do spend a huge amount of time outside...

BalloonSlayer · 25/07/2020 09:37

DH and I were in Rome, had been walking all day and had become tired and quarrellsome. We had just fallen out over something or other and I was feeling really angry with him, although it was just tiredness. We wee snapping at each other when !! A pigeon shat on his head! Booyaka! Of course I couldn't laugh aloud so my legs did that thing when they go like rubber from the suppressed laughter.

Happy days. (This was 21 years ago & I still love him very much and also am still chucking.)

When ds was small I took him in the bat cave at the zoo.
Within second of entering (bearing in mind it's very dark) he told me a bat had pooped on his head.i told him I was sure it hadn't.

As we left the cave into the sunshine I looked down at him his head was bright red. All I can say is that fruit bats appear to poop way more than birds Grin

My friend was going out and had her hair in a huge quiff, a seagull shat right in the front of it and they had no tissues so had to furiously wipe the quiff with rizlas. Her husband was hysterically laughing until he turned round and it was all down his back too! Grin

RuudGullitOnAShed · 25/07/2020 11:24

Happened to DH on the first day of our honeymoon.
I cried with laughter as he stood there trying to clean himself up.
We’ve been happily married for more than a quarter of a century so he did get lucky. Smile

dayswithaY · 25/07/2020 11:26

Yes, I only noticed when it dripped down and got stuck in my eyebrow so I couldn't see properly. I remember it was warm and strangely purple in colour as the bird must have been eating berries.

EmberElftree · 25/07/2020 11:29

Sitting outside a bar having a drink with my friend. I thought someone had poured a bucket of water over my head there was so much shit! My friend was silent crying with laughter and everyone around was cheering & clapping.

wellerhugs5 · 25/07/2020 11:35

Hahahah, these posts are making me laugh. I haven't had a bird poo on me but I had a horse sneeze on my boot when I was about 8 years old. That was a lot of snot.

ItsAlwaysSunnyOnMN · 25/07/2020 11:50

Yes

And I was in my way to a job interview thankfully only a small bird and yes I did get the job !

And once in my fish and chips I had just starting eating was in a restaurant (outside) and the gave me a fresh plate

Zippetydoodahzippetyay · 25/07/2020 13:11

Never on my head, but on my clothes. At uni when lying on the grass between glasses a friend of mine had a bird poop on her mouth. Poor thing.

MarieIVanArkleStinks · 25/07/2020 16:30

Yes! First date with DH. I was on my way to meet him and had to rinse my head under a tap.

YesIDoLoveCrisps · 25/07/2020 16:33

On my back when I was really pregnant. I was so big round my arms seemed tiny and too short to wipe it off so a grandma on the bus did it with her hanky Blush

RufustheRowlingReindeer · 25/07/2020 17:43
