Well that's one way to evict an unwanted tenant.
A sparrow lodging with a family of storks got one right in the eye as it was hit mid-flight by a dirty protest from its landlord.

Photographer Martin Nobbe captured a bird's eye view of the moment a stork squirted a stream of poo at the little bird, scoring a direct hit.
Mr Nobbe said he noticed the family of tree sparrows had been sharing the nest with the storks as 'sub-tenants' until the cosy relationship turned sour.
He said: "The little sparrow who was hit could fly unharmed afterwards, but he must certainly have learned a lesson."
The nest in the German town of Lubbecke had been built over several years on a man-made platform to stop storks nesting on pylons.
