Bluebird poop on my convertible top…

Bluebird poop on my convertible top doesn’t smell and I can clean it off, but much congressional poop stinks, and can affect you for a lifetime.

Have you seen this bird?

Western Bluebird

The Western Bluebird (Sialia mexicana) is a medium-sized thrush.

Northern birds migrate to the southern parts of the range; southern birds are often permanent residents.

Identification Tips:
• Length: 5.5 inches
• Thin bill
• Most often seen in open habitats: agricultural areas, wood edges, et al

Adult male:
• Bright blue upperparts and throat
• Brownish patch on back
• Orange-red breast and sides
• Gray belly and undertail coverts

Adult female:
• Blue wings and tail-duller than male
• Gray crown and back
• Eye ring
• Gray throat
• Brownish wash to breast and sides
• Gray belly and undertail coverts

These birds wait on a perch and fly down to catch insects, sometimes catching them in midair. They mainly eat insects and berries.

Their breeding habitat is semi-open country across western North America, but not desert areas. They nest in cavities or in nest boxes, competing with Tree Swallows, House Sparrows, and European Starlings for natural nesting locations.
