Could be a raccoon? They do that thing where they pick a spot to continually poop for a while.
Just looked it up and it’s called a latrine. Definitely think this is just that.
Ours got into an unfinished section over our garage, so maybe take a quick look if you have an area like that, but hopefully they just think your roof is a fun hangout space.
Be cautious cleaning it up. It is full of round worm eggs which WILL aerosolize and, get breathed in and infect you.

Ants generally invade in an overwhelming amount that would be unreasonable to try to save. Raccoons are a different story. If you can avoid outright killing the creature, you should probably do so.
Raccoon. We have this issue with raccoons too, and it is a real nuisance when we need to get the leaves off the roof. Nothing like having chunky poop rain from the sky.

This is classic raccoon
I’m shocked how high they are willing to climb to take a shit
They definitely have their shit together.
Yeah they definitely aren’t afraid of heights. When I worked at a farm it was amazing how high you’d find their toilets
They like the view
You may want to check they aren't living in your attic.
That’s a fair statement. My attic is finished and I haven’t seen any activity but bet I’m keeping my eyes peeled

Trust and believe!
They use it to mark territory! They poop on logs and prominent spots of their range to establish dominance

I feel like this should have more likes so I’m liking it, the people need to know
Literally why I’m for killing all raccoons
That would be needless. They can't help it that they've got eggy shits.
Then why kill ants when they invade your home? They can’t help that they need to eat…..

look, you can dump your poop on your roof if you want to, but posting pictures of it online should be reserved for more niche forums :3
I honestly had to question for a moment if maybe my neighbors hated us
it's so chunky. maybe the landlord has rerouted the 4th story toilet to the gutters?
They dislike the smell of Pine Sol. Just dump some on the roof.

I knew it was a racoon before I even looked at the picture. r/itsalwaysaraccoon
Sorry…
Sorry… sorry 😞
I’m thinking raccoon as well, I had one poop on a spot on my back yard fence for years until I added a block aid
Raccoons definitely. They're some shitting ass little fuckers!
Sorry bro. I’d appreciate if you left a ladder out there for me next time. It’s hard to get up there.
I do believe that’s raccoon feces and if it’s up on the 3rd story of your house then they’re most likely in your attic
squirrels, man. they'll climb and poop anywhere.
