Reply to comment by sfchimera in TIL that the USA in 1856 enacted a law that allowed any USA citizen to take over an island if the island was full of bird shit....and unoccupied. by LMonteSlim

I actually know of an island that would qualify, I found it on Lake Champlain not far from Burlington a couple decades ago when I was sailing. I don't remember the name, but it might as well have been called Bird Shit Island.
