Solved! This CD situation on a dashboard

Post image

I pulled up to this parked Toyota Prius in a Canadian parking lot. Initially in thought they were using this as a sun reflector but it wasn’t sunny or particularly hot. It was still like this when I came back to my car about 25 mins later.

Likely an attempt to deter pigeons from hanging out near/shitting on their car

Getting a rubber snake toy from the dollar store and throwing on your car will chase birds away - my dad keeps one on his corvette and it’s been effective

I’ve seen plenty of slightly melted rubber toys on dashboards here in florida. Gotta get a high quality silicone snake

Silicone for the win 😎

Especially if they stand up on a suction base and can move with the breeze, that might keep em away

Definitely want a flared base. Larger suction pad keeps it in place better during rough rides

This has to be what it is. We put cds on sticks in our back yard to deter hawks and owls from swooping down and snatching our chickens. I can’t think of anything else this would be for

But why is this guy keeping chickens in his car?

u/bigtiddyhimbo 1d ago

Because kfcs fried chicken is too expensive now

Their car isn’t even clean if this is the case.
