Getting rid of crows

[Big Lou]

Is there any way I can keep crows away from our yard. Aside from being loud the scare off many other birds.

Something to scare crows...hmm...

 

[Big Lou]

Love it! I wonder if they work?

Would your neighbours object to you firing a shotgun into the air every once in a while?

Lou I assume they are going after food dropped on the ground by the other birds? If so then maybe make screen catch bases so the seed does not go the ground. You may have a couple here and there on the feeder but they mainly are going to the ground for a quick meal. If they are just there enjoying your yard then usually sound or movement will help them along.

I find crows go away only once they realize that there is no food around for them.
We have Great Grey owls here that eat baby crows, but that's probably not the direction you're looking for....

Shooting a weapon in our city will rid me of hearing the crows because I will be in jai! LOL

Thanks everyone.

They have a sprinkler that's called a scare crow that has a sensor on it and when something passes the sensor it shoots water work great.

 

[Big Lou]

Good idea but it will also scare the favored birds away.

Not to sound funny Lou but why are the crows a problem?

 

[Big Lou]

Because they scare off other birds. Guess I should be more kind hearted since they too need food and water.

Well you said it not me but really I only asked because I put food out in feeders and I figure who or whatever visits is okay by me. I am not going to get all stressed out because a squirrel eats from the bird feeder. In fact, it's kinda fun watching them trying to get to the food

And I didn't even realize that crows will scare away other birds so see how much I know
