Exploring Nature: Poop

Unlike other animals, birds don’t produce urine, instead they excrete nitrogenous wastes in the form or uric acid, which resembles white paste, or plaster. I refer to this substance as “poop.”

A study in England found that red cars are more likely to be pooped on by birds, followed by blue and black. Green was the least likely to be a target.

I’m not sure why birds poop on one color more than another; I have a white car and a beige car so I hope neither attracts birds ready to excrete.
