Is there a superstition associated with birds crapping on your window? I was sitting here early this morning when a huge dollop of do-do (Brent Gooose by the look of it) sploshed wetly against my window pane (luckily it's not hot enough to have it open yet).
Given the huge number of animal related superstitions (black cats, magpies etc) just curious to see if I should expect shedloads of money or to end up homeless and penniless.

If it is Goose shit then I suggest you remove it, I don't know about modern car glass, but I do know that goose shit was the material of choice for etching glass in the late 17th and early 18th century prior to the use of chemicals. The 'Gander man' (hence the term, have a gander, meaning to take a look, because once the Gander Man had finished his work you couldn't . There are also stories that the Goosey Goosey Gander rhyme has its origins planted around the Gander man who did indeeed take his gooses upstairs and downstairs and into the ladies chamber ) would mask out the areas of glass to be left clear with a flour and water paste and then clutching one or more goose / geese under his arms similar to the way that a set of bagpipes are held, gently squeeze the creatures to encourage them to shit. The Gander man would often fill his jacket pockets with Mead soaked corn which kept the animals head down and occupied with feeding whilst squeezing and firing away with the other end at the glass. Geese are prolific shit machines and unlike many animals that simply allow such waste matter to drop from their bodies, actually squirt matter with considerable force when expelling it ,making it unescassary for the Gander man to actally touch the wet excrement.

That is just sick! And I'm inclined not to believe a word of it.

As good a reason as any to stay away from genetic engineering then because the only other creature that could add bulk to a goose for economic farming and that has similar traits such as living in a large group, a love of water and cropping on grass, is the Hippo and that would be tragic.
