Crows attacking my house!
Discussion
Thanks in advance for any ideas you might have
4 am- daybreak every morning for the last week, hoards of crows attacking the windows!
These suckers are giving it hell, waking up the whole household and making quite a mess of the window sills as well as smearing the glass itself.
Google tells me, they see themselves in the reflection and try to fight the 'other' bird. Closing curtains does not help
What can I do?!
Poison? tried some rat poison mixed with bird seed on a couple of window ledges but to no avail.
Any help gratefully appreciated

if a rat was causing similar damage and lack of sleep would we question poison?
I'm all ears tho, all I want is the damage to stop and for my wife and kids not to be woken up at 4am, all suggestions welcome!
But by law you’re not allowed to just sprinkle poison out in the open, only an idiot would do that, it should always be covered in a box or trap.I'm all ears tho, all I want is the damage to stop and for my wife and kids not to be woken up at 4am, all suggestions welcome!
Even if it’s on an upstairs window cill, mixed with bird seed do you not think other species of birds would be drawn to it?

About 4 months in jail and a £7000 fine, it's illegal to kill corvids in the UK. "Crows, jackdaws and rooks are protected under the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981 and the Wildlife (Northern Ireland) Order 1985."https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-11570...
