A parakeet in Scotland has been causing trouble for car owners by attacking their windscreen wipers and seals. The bird, which is a type of parakeet, has been spotted in Inverness since February and has been causing damage to cars. Local residents say the bird regularly attacks cars, causing damage to the windscreen wipers and seals. The parakeet is thought to have escaped from a home where it was kept as a pet. Some neighbors are covering their cars with plastic covers to protect them from the bird. Experts don't know why parakeets attack car windscreen wipers and seals, but they have three main theories: the birds might be defending their territory, looking for certain oils or minerals in the rubber, or just playing and exploring. If your car is being damaged by parakeets, there are ways to protect it. Experts recommend covering the car and windscreen with plastic covers and folding back the windscreen wiper arms.
