I don't know about the solvents in bird poop, but......... I can tell you you don't want to park under or near any roost where there is a bald eagle!!!! Especially an Alaska Bald Eagle. I was working in Cordova down in the Prince William Sound of Alaska and was out a dirt road one day and was admiring a big bald eagle in a treetop across the road. That bird decided to lauch into the air off his perch and eagle have a particular way of doing that, I came to understant. Almost in one motion, they first make a kind of squat, then shove off the limb with a mighty push with their legs, and at the same time they get those wings out stretched into a full flap to get themselves going. When my bird launched, he let out a blast of bird poop so big that it sprayed into the air as if someone had fired a 300 Weatherby bullet through a gallon can of white paint!!!!!!! I was stunned. It was a huge white explosion, and all that urea blasted into the atmosphere. So, never fear for the planet, there is plenty of nitrogen being added to the topsoil - and the atmosphere for lightening to bring down for plant life to feed on. Defintely do not park under an eagle roost. You will lose ALL your paint!!!
