iirc it's urea that did for your paint.
Birds concentrate their waste, so's to save weight by not using liquid to dispose of what the
kidneys filter out.  The white stuff in bird poop is fairly strong acid.


Anyone know how to remove redwood stains from paint?  That's my local environmental problem, living
in California.
