The Scoop on Poop

You are probably thinking,"she has entirely too much time on her hands" when you read todays title. I have many times thought that birds seem to target my vehicle to defecate on,but as it turns out it could be worse.
Yes an actual study was done in the UK to determine which color vehicle birds are most likely to poop on. The study included 1140 cars. The most pooped on color is red at 18% with blue trailing at 14% third is black at 11%,white at 7% and last is gray at 3%. The least pooped on color is green with only 1%. For any clean car freaks this could be a deciding factor for your next car purchase.
There are no doubt still some of you that find this hard to believe,but the fact is birds have excellent color vision. They can see UV light and have at least 4 kinds of cones in their eyes. In contrast humans can't see UV light and only have 3 types of cones.
