Large flocks of birds can quickly produce a lot of excrement. When they roost on the roofs of buildings or near vehicles, this can lead to piles of droppings that are both unsightly and a potential human health hazard. The usual suspects in these situations are Pigeons, House Sparrows, European Starlings, Gulls, Wild Turkeys, or Vultures.
