If you look around enough, you'll find a study for everything. There is research on the best places to eat in every state, the best places to live, the most dangerous places, where the most bedbugs are, and countless others.

It can be fun to read these studies and see if you agree with them based on your own experiences, and maybe learn something about a community in the state you live.

Of course, some studies get published that make you do a double-take, not only because they make you smile, but because you want to see the results and if it impacts you.

That was literally the case with a study I found regarding the pooping habits of birds. Specifically, which vehicles they like to poop on the most. The study not only found the vehicle that gets targeted the most, but also which color birds enjoy finding when Mother Nature calls. If you drive any of the vehicles listed below in Minnesota, heads up!

Vehicles That Birds Poop On The Most

You're likely wondering who did this Bird Dropping Report, and that would be Alan's Factory Outlet, who surveyed 1,000 American drivers to explore the very relatable problem: bird droppings on cars.

They then combined survey responses with research on bird behavior and parking habits, and uncovered which vehicles are hit the hardest, which colors attract the most mess, and how much money drivers spend cleaning up.

Vehicle Colors That Birds Target The Most

When it comes to the color that birds seemingly love the most, the winner is brown. I know, I know, the jokes write themselves. Here were the top 7 colors that birds target:

  1. Brown
  2. Red
  3. Black
  4. Yellow/Orange
  5. Blue
  6. White
  7. Silver/Grey

Makes Of Vehicles That Birds Target The Most

So, now we know that brown vehicles are a favorite for bird poop, but which type of vehicle do they love the most? Well, if you drive a brown Dodge Ram, you'd better have a car wash pass.

Here are the top 10 types of vehicles birds enjoy dropping their business on:

  1. Dodge Ram
  2. Jeep
  3. Chevrolet
  4. Nissan
  5. Other Dodge models
  6. Kia
  7. Tesla
  8. Audi
  9. Ford
  10. Subaru

Interestingly, Dodge was the only make of vehicle that showed up twice in the top 10. Other key findings from this study include:

  • Over 1 in 2 Americans (58%) say their car has been pooped on more than once in the same day.
  • 29% of Americans feel like birds have “targeted” their vehicle.
  • Nearly 1 in 4 Americans (24%) spend over $500 each year on car washes and repairs due to bird droppings.
  • 1 in 5 Americans (21%) would invest in a car cover or garage to avoid bird mess, and they’d pay an average of $50/month for better protection.

6 Photos You Won't Believe Were Taken In Minnesota

After having spent the greater part of the last three weeks outside Minnesota, it has been great to be back. We live in a very beautiful part of the country. From the North Shore's jagged cliffs to the rolling croplands of southern Minnesota and to the driftless area near Preston, our state is filled with beautiful sights. I managed to find 6 photos that were taken right here in Minnesota, but when you look at them, you'd think they were taken somewhere else completely. Let's enjoy the land of 10,000 photos, shall we?
