Funny story…I used to whistle and imitate birds calls. Some of them used to go along and keep making the same sound along with me (more like I was making the same sound as them). Very few others, after repeating a few times, popped on me. Happened enough times for it to not be a coincidence
They only surveyed 1,000 drivers? That does not seem like a good sample size for this kind of study.
If we're going to have Flock spy on our cars everywhere we go, and the cameras are good enough to track bumper stickers and dents, they should track bird poop and publish those results.
Kind of like how OkCupid used to use their data to develop and publish insights (before they sold out to the Match group).
Also other things like red cars are more likely to have bumper stickers, XYZ model is more likely to have bumper dents, blue cars are more likely to speed on Monday mornings and Friday afternoons.
One time in Missouri I swear to god a roc pooped on my car as I was driving down the street. Seriously, it was at least a cup of poop, a thick trail starting at the front of the car, up and over the hood, looping on the windshield, and halfway across the roof. It took minutes of dedicated squeegeeing to clean it.
