    Actually, birds have no sphincter. So they have no control over who they shit on.

    Basically, if you’re ever below a bird, there is a 100% chance they will shit if they need to shit.

    But that means they can’t pick targets.

      They can’t hold it in but they can feel it coming right? And they can choose whether or not to fly over somebody

      I remember seeing a nature documentary with one bird that could absolutely control and aim. I don’t remember what it was but it would dive bomb threats and was apparently quite successful with aiming for the mouth. I think the predator they showed was a cat, like bobcat sized.
