Angry ahhhhh Psyco bird....driving me crazy...help

There is this little psyco bird that hangs around my driveway. Hes crazy he sets on the side of my truck and sh*ts on the side of it, and pecks and pecks on his reflection of hisself in my mirrors. All day long and occasionally he takes the diving bomb into the screen door on my garage. I tried folding in the mirrors when i park, but he just gets in between the gap between the truck and the mirrors, and its like world war 3 in that small space. Does anyone know what i could do to stop this little monster. ANYTHING?

I currently have the *SAME BIRD* that likes my Wife's Explorer.

My latest stab at detering it from sitting on the side-view mirror and 'roosting' is to slather my neighbor's car mirrors in ground worms.

Buy some sticky mouse traps... tape them to the areas where the bird lands (sticky side out, obviously) and hope the bird gets stuck on the trap.

I think that same bird followed me to work last night...

I cleaned the bike up nicely yesterday, and in the five minute gap between me parking the bike and putting the cover on it the rear cowl and part of the seat got tagged >_> I avoid parking under the trees for a reason... stupid bird.

That was my original thought as well, but then I was concerned with the trucks well being!
