Ewwwww
I finally got around to cleaning off all the bird droppings on my deck. I learned a few things in doing so:
- Over time, the piles of bird droppings form a histogram of where the birds like to perch.
- Birds prefer hanging out on the rafter above the north end of my deck.
- Individually, bird droppings don’t have much of a smell. En masse, they do. Here, en masse means about one and a half dustpans’ worth.
Now you know.

At first I misread that as “one and a half dumpsters’ worth” and I was wondering how the hell big your deck is.
I didn’t even know you had a deck! You should take pictures.
Also, make sure the bird droppings don’t fall into your rainwater collector for your pot farm.

The more you know. *stars music*
In case anyone was sad to hear that the fecal histogram had been cleaned up, the birds have started working on another one already.
So is it somewhat Gaussian?
More of a scatter plot, really. The only way to deal with the birds doing this once and for all might be to Poisson them.
I could not be happier with how that went, and neither could Tom Lehrer.
