(How a bird got into Claptrap's programming is a mystery.)

** In "Back Out There", Lincoln's friends are wearing tuxedos, which get pooped on by a flock of birds.

* A rather infamous Nissan commercial that aired during the Superbowl in 1997 had a flock of birds trying to dive-bomb a moving Maxima... with bird poop.

* Implied in the ''Series/DadsArmy'' episode "Getting the Bird". Walker dopes a flock of pigeons and tries to sell them to the butcher for meat, but they wake up and fly into Captain Mainwaring's office, creating chaos. Private Pike says, "Look what those pigeons did to my forage cap" but Mainwaring tells him to stop complaining as it's meant to bring good luck.

* In ''WesternAnimation/SamsonAndSally'', there's a scene that was cut from the English dub where the seagull who's distracting the whaling captain so the titular whales can escape. The gull ties up the captain, then poops on his head.

* ''VideoGame/Fable2'' has this in the opening cut scene when a robin dumps on the main character.

* In ''[[Literature/{{Dragaera}} Hawk]]'', when Vlad is trying to keep track of an invisible sorceress's precise location, Loiosh - a [[ShoulderSizedDragon jhereg]] rather than a bird, but close enough - offers to shit on her head to make her position obvious. Vlad warns his familiar [[SubvertedTrope not to do]], knowing she may target ''Loiosh'' if he dares.

Sometimes, the idea of birds pooping on people is likened to an attack (after all, aerial attacks and birds pooping from above are both unwanted and involve things falling from the sky, although bird poop is considerably less dangerous) and some satirical works may have birds pooping on people or things on purpose. Another parody is having flying dinosaurs poop on characters or things. It is also sometimes referred to as "whitewashing" because bird poop is generally white.

* In the parody film ''Film/HighAnxiety'', a man gets pooped on by a whole lot of pigeons, parodying ''Film/TheBirds''.
* In ''Film/TheFlintstones'', Wilma and Betty's day out shopping at a strip mall is ruined when the emergency sirens start blaring. A giant pterodactyl is approaching, and everyone scrambles to find shelter moments before the ''entire mall'' is covered in white poop.

Most birds fly. Most birds are also not potty trained. Therefore, it's [[TruthInTelevision statistically likely]] that a bird will poop on something or somebody inappropriate while flying or perching. And, of course, a lot of people (especially children) like ToiletHumour, so naturally, there will often be jokes about birds pooping in the wrong place.

* ''Creator/DingoPictures'': "Wabuu the Cheeky Raccoon" starts with two birds pooping on Wabuu's head to see if he can take a joke.

* Happens to Q in ''Literature/IQ'' when he gets [[TakenForGranite turned into a statue]].

* In an episode of ''Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle'', a man erects a large scale model of Pearl Harbor in his back yard. When the neighbor's kid covers it in worms, a flock of crow arrive in formation and dive bomb and destroy the harbor.

* In an episode of ''Series/MalcomintheMiddle'', a man erects a large scale model of Pearl Harbor in his back yard. When the neighbor's kid covers it in worms, a flock of crow arrive in formation and dive bomb and destroy the harbor.

** Has happened three times with Walt the canary: he's pooped on Lincoln's head, in his room, and in a dogcatcher's drink. Unfortunately, the dogcatcher drank it...
