Default Bird Poo Magnet?

Anyone else have this problem? When my Jaguar is at work, I have to walk out each day and wipe the bird poo off. I take the beaten up Porsche with bad paint and dents, to work and there is nothing, absolutely nothing. Meanwhile, the Jaguar at home has multiple hits when I return.

I had them both at home yesterday, Porsche, zero bird poo hits, Jaguar, 4 bird poo hits. They were three feet from each other.

Is it the shiney paint, do birds get a feel good from pooping on the most expensive looking car they can find? Can I save myself by putting a blow up Ferrari in the parking lot at work? Yeash.

Hmmm... no poop on mine (yet...).
Are you sure the Porsche has bad paint and dents, or is it just a lot of bird poo?

Jealous birds. Put a stuffed hawk on your top while inside. Also don't park under light fixtures and trees.

Color of car could have a effect.
My grey car gets very little bird dropping
My white car must look like a outhouse to birds, lots of mess after a few hours:
