Is Getting Pooped On By Birds Good Luck?

If a bird poops on you or anything you own, it's said to be a sign of good luck!Show more

The Russian superstition is based on the rare odds of actually being pooped on by a bird.

A rabbit's foot or horseshoe might be the more traditional objects relating to symbols of good luck, but we can't forget about bird poop.

With as many birds as there are in the sky, it's supposedly more rare to be pooped on by one than it is to win the lottery. This actually prompts many people to play the lotto when they do get pooped on by a winged wayfarer. Can you imagine having a winning ticket for the Powerball after getting pooped on by a bird? (Now that's some good fortune!)

However, we know that parking a car under a tree is a recipe for disaster, so you're tempting fate if you play that game. Being struck by lightning is even rarer and not seen as quite so fortunate, so it might be time to dispel the myth surrounding bird poop's sign of luck.

Now, you're probably hoping next time you see a flock of seagulls that one will just feel a few bubble guts and release some bird droppings on you. Hey, it might feel like a bad day at first, but it could be your lucky day. If it happens, go and buy a lottery ticket. Although, I hope you have a good stain remover because if you had any prior bad luck, it might leave you with a gross stain.

Don't toss out your favorite t-shirt if you're lucky enough to get pooped on. We've got you with the best stain removers. Your shirt will look fresh in no time after a drop of these babies, and a good wash.

Good omen aside, sometimes birds poop on your stuff. Hopefully, this first time is the only time. Keep some stain remover (and probably Febreeze) nearby. Animal feces may be a symbol of good luck, but it's still a messy situation!
