LOL, I thought it said cows too, was quite suprised when you had shot a couple.

Must be nesting time, can you lay some some other stuff out that they could use as an alternative?

moooooo!

Noops, where are you?
I'm here ............ I think.. :lol:

Sorry I havent a magic wand for this one :cry: ( depends on location, if shooting and makeing a noise is possable etc etc....). I have had reports of this happening in a quarry not that far from me last week. Seems dumper trucks and diggers having the wiper blades removed by nutter crows very early in the mornings . I would have shot a couple and hung them so the rest to see :evil: for a couple of days as well as the plastic owl . At least you cou;ld use the owl for target practice.

Sorry for the lack of usefull information

We had a Hawk brought in to my place of work for an hour or two a couple of days a week over a month to scare off the seagull / pigeon population. Worked a treat but maybe a bit pricey for an individual domestic situation

You should maybe get a scarey cat like this one......

OK....it looks more mental than scarey but if I was a crow I would go in your gaden :shock:

Hopefully slightly more helpful -

Have some fun whilst scaring the crows -

Even better - hook up a PIR sensor to set them off! Might be a stark awakening in the morning for you though!

Do plastic birds work then?
I've got some pretty large protected trees in the garden where Crows nest.
They sh*t everywhere. Deckings, windows and cars. Nuisance.

No my parents bought a plastic heron to scare them away from the pond, one of my neighbours bought a plastic falcon for the bin store to scare them away.

Both get used as a perch.

Guns work really well.

Unfortunatly I am surrounded by schools so that option isn't open to me.

Gulls are coming back, think I will try an owl or falcon, don't want to scare off the smaller garden birds we feed though.
