We had good luck scrubbing those kinds of spots with a good cleaner
(Collinite, or something with oxalic or even something like Tilex) and
then letting the sun do the rest. Bird spots would be gone after a sunny
week. Worked on red wine stains too. Of course, your birds may differ.

>> Love this bird thread. We lost numerous Davis windvanes to birds including one night when I think was a blue heron tried to land on it in the middle of the night while we were at anchor - judging from the to the "squonk!!" and the flapping as it flew off. Probably should have tried one with the spike but went to a Davis Spar-fly instead which worked well but the 'fly' part of it wasn't very UV resistant.
