Hang an old sheet etc over the outside of the window.
Did you really need to be told that?
This!Did you really need to be told that?
What kind of an idiot would immediately think the solution is to try and poison the crows and god knows how many other birds in the process?!
After a few days of the sheet being there the crows will likely get out of the 'habit' the have currently adopted.

So I'm a snowflake for not wanting wildlife illegally poisoned?
Go ahead and do it. You've seen the possible punishments.
no the snowflake was in reference to reacting someone's tongue in cheek shotgun suggestion, please relax, there is no offence to be taken here.Go ahead and do it. You've seen the possible punishments.
I appreciate that poison is technically illegal. But no other birds have been seen on our window ledges and something clearly has to be done because whilst occasionally amusing, my wife 2 young sons and I are been woken at 4 am every morning and damage is being done to our home.
The non lethal suggestions so far have been fit all 25 windows with shutters, or drape towels out of all our windows, neither of which, sadly, are workable.
If I employed a professional to do the job, theyd probably kill the feckers, rather than sweet talk the crows!

Amusingly he is calling others snowflakes, yet he is the one crying because he is woken at 4 am, about 2 weeks ago I was hearing the dawn chorus at 3.30 am, it is around 4 am now, but I don't mind it one bit, even pigeons flapping about at that time, windows are fully open and woodland is about 25 metres from my window, but I don't have to put poison and bird seed out to see them off, it is part of nature.Promised Land said:

this is not my video but the crows are basically like this

im sure you wouldnt mind one bit!
I'm sure you think this is harmonious nature at its best and the reason why you moved to the country side! good one
Best bet is to shoot one and leave the body in situ, this will dissuade them from returning. The crows round my area have started to attack the rubbers surrounding car windows as well as killing smaller birds. I shot one and left the body for a couple of days, haven’t seen them since.

Isn't that illegal under the Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981)?Gassing Station | Homes, Gardens and DIY | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
