Help! Turkey problems



Some background...
Yesterday, I took advantage of the great weather to wash 
and wax my Black A4.  I live in an apt that borders a 
wet-land preserve.  Deer, California wild turkey, and other 
creatures often wander among the lawns of our apts.  This 
morning I stepped out to see a wild turkey eyeing its 
reflection on my car and then pecking at it.  I thought it 
was prehaps pecking at some bug, but the turkey went around 
the car pecking at its reflection. At this point, I stepped 
in and the turkey and I played merry-go-round around my car 
a couple of times before it went away.  Later this afternoon 
two neighbors stopped by to tell me that they had to chase 
away a turkey from my car.

Ok, if you've fallen off your seat from laughing, get back 
on...

I'm afraid that the peckings could end up as dings.  They 
haven't done any damage yet.  I am looking at the following 
options...
1.  Rent a garage - I am on a waiting list (right now, I just 
    have a covered parking slot)
2.  Buy a car cover - I've used Evolution4 on my Spider and 
    I like it, but my local auto store claims that its 
    supplier does not yet have the A4 pattern.
3.  Perhaps I should get one of those annoying, oversensitive
    car alarms that I hate.
4.  A scarecrow 
5.  A shotgun

Any suggestions?  Any sprays I could use?
