Default Wierd But True Story...

So anyways today I washed my car. After drying, waxing, rewaxing, re-re-waxing with NXT (dont think it really matters in this story but w/e). After I was so proud of my work I started to wash our 2002 Honda Accord sedan. While washing the Accord a little group of sparrows (im guessing children and mother) flew by. And one actually hit the side of my 350. At first I was extremely pissed thinking they tried to land on it (since they have a nest in a tree nearby) but then I noticed the one that hit the car was wobbling around and hopping trying to fly.


So no damage was done except to the bird. But now I am feeling a little cocky since I am thinking that because it was so shiny it rather

a) blinded it
b) there was a reflection and it thought nothing was there

or.....


c) it was a baby and it didnt know how to fly and crashed into the car (emergency landing? lol)




Anyways Im sticking to the story that my car was so shiny it confused a bird.

Birds will sometimes fly into windows after seeing their reflection. They confuse themselves with another bird invading their territory.

Then we get the threads where the bird chipped someone's paint.
