If it was good for the paint, I would imagine it would come like that.

i have like 15 bird poops on my car and since its a black car u can clearly see the etching of it in the paint. Bird poop is acidic and along with the sun shining hard it corrodes ur paint surface. So keep a bottle of detailers spray and a rag so u can clean it up fast without any damage.

noway, the acid burns a hole in your hood, which gives you a vent effect.

I would clean it off asap. I usually use either detailing mist or spray wax. Just something to wet the surface to help clean it off. And be careful not the rub it into the paint, that will increase the risk of scratching the paint.
