A bunch of snobby Brits are ruffling feathers for installing “anti-bird” spikes on trees — to protect their luxury cars from droppings. Large Foam Paint Roller

The perilous contraptions, which were installed on tree branches in the exclusive Clifton area of Bristol, have been described by a local Green Party councilor as “literally uninhabitable to birds,” Independent UK reported.

But one uppity resident insisted the nail-like apparatus is the only way to shield precious BMWs and Audis from bird poop.

“The spikes are solely to protect the cars, there is no other reason,” said the neighbor, who asked to remain anonymous.

“There is a big problem with bird droppings around here. They can really make a mess of cars, and for some reason the birds do seem to congregate around this area.”

Residents had tried installing wooden birds of prey in the branches to scare off birds – but to no avail, according to the news outlet.

People visiting the area were shocked by the spikes.

“Our war on wildlife: now birds are not allowed in trees…?!” Jennifer Garrett tweeted, along with an image of the skewer-lined branches.

“This is quite possibly the most idiotic thing I’ve ever seen this year!” nature writer James Common wrote.

Green Party councilor Paula O’Rourke bemoaned the branch barbs but said the landowners may be legally within their rights to install them on trees in their property.

“Whether allowed or not though, it looks awful and it’s a shame to see trees being literally made uninhabitable to birds – presumably for the sake of car parking,” she said, vowing to bring up the prickly issue at a council meeting.
