FUCKING SHITHAWKS, RANDY
This is driving me to despair, it's just constant shit. And of course if I go to clean shit off the car I inevitably end up seeing other issues that I feel compelled to clean, like dirt and grime. It's getting to the point where I'm dreading leaving the house every day and seeing what's happened now to the car.
Is there any substance to the old myth about birds being more attracted to certain colours?
And what can I do to stop this, short of spending thousands of dollars (which I don't have) on getting a carport built? Are there any deterrences I can set up to drive them away?

Remove whatever tree is near by.
Get a pet Falcon and train it to kill the other birds.
Maybe there's some kind of stuff you can put down that leaves a smell that birds hate or a device that emits a ultra high sound frequency that hurts their ears and makes them avoid your location.
There has to be something man kind has invented to keep them away. there are definitely such things for other animals.

in all seriousness, what color was your shitbox? What color is your new car? Your current car might be painted in a color that makes the bird shit stand out more compared to your old shitbox. There's also the possibility that you're simply more observant of bird shit since you now have a nicer car.

Old car was orange. New car is red. Despite not taking great care of my old car (I cleaned it perhaps twice a year) I always noticed bird shit because I hate the stuff and will clean it off. I had thought about it perhaps being because I'm more observant of the new car, but the old car has been sat out on the street under some phone lines and a tree for the last 2 weeks while I get ready to sell it and there is not a single drop of shit on it.

There are no trees. It's directly in front of my house. I thought maybe they've been perching up there on the roof and then shitting when they take off but I've never ever noticed them up there, it's puzzling.
That twingo needs a bath
Get a car cover?

Birds know a nice car when they shit on it.
If you don't want birds shitting on your car, keep it under cover.
Personally, though, I find that having birds of prey around keeps birds the fuck away. Red kites got reintroduced a while back, and they eat pigeons. They're supposedly scavengers, but pigeons shuffle off under TV aerials, and their numbers are in decline.
Get a breeding population of your own local birds of prey, call it conservation so you get government money for it, and they'll defend your shit.
Probably eat small dogs as well, but nobody cares about tiny fashion dogs.
Buy a pellet gun.

>And what can I do to stop this
it depends on what types of birds are pooping
is it mostly crows?
Try living near the coast, seagull swarms literally fucking everywhere. I don't know why I even bother washing my car.

Mix rat poison and bread. Leave it near your car. Kill the bastards.
