There is a pest of a bird doing everything it can to damage my car.
Its actions are best described by watching it in a YouTube video, though I'm not certain how or if SE allows embedding, so here is a link:
It appears to want something inside of the glass or reflected in the glass, as it can be seen at the 1:52 point in the video to be pecking at my sunroof, but the the only thing under it is the beige cover, so the car's interior is not visible.
It also does not peck at any of the metallic parts of the car, only the glass. It is hard to catch, even on video, but I have witnessed the bird take interest in its own reflection in the mirrors.
A car cover is not an option for me as it attracts other pests, such as mice and rats, plus car covers do not last long where I am because of the very high wind gusts.
I certainly do not wish to harm the bird, and this is the only bird in over 10 years of living here that has ever done this.
If anyone knows a way I can convince the bird to leave my car alone, I would be greatly appreciative.

A cat would work LOL. Lots of bird problems this week. If you have a garden hose close. I use a motion activated water sprinkler. Probably will only take a few times and it wont come back. Motion sprinkler it keeps the geese out of my pool.
