Yup, and I'd prefer that it changed it's diet to pigeons, scrub jays, and starlings soon.Hawks got to eat too.
My thing is with Crows........................................
They seem to have a certain hankering for landfills out in the middle of B.F.E. Seagull = flying ratSeagull's need to stay at the coast, where they belong. SEA-gulls.
I can't hate the scrub jays. We have a good relationship with a pair for going on four years. what we've determined to be the female "Jesse" comes to hand for peanuts. She'll hop around in a well groomed maple tree in front of the front widow by the door, sit on the deck near the slider and rap on the wood pile or stand on the deck railing with her neck stretched out so she can see us at the kitchen sink, to get our attention. Stick you hand out the door with a peanut in it and she'll come and get it. The male, Jerry, just sits back aways and waits 'till we set the peanut on something for him to get.Yup, and I'd prefer that it changed it's diet to pigeons, scrub jays, and starlings soon.
Good thing or bad thing? We've had the same crow pair, be going on for four years. They alert me when there's a cat in the yard. They talk to me to let me know they're there. The one we believe to be the larger(female) sits just out side where the jays come for peanuts, and eats 'em right there 10' out from the slider. There's three of them. One is their young from summer before last. They protect our yard from other crows. The female follows Wifey to work, which is kitty corner across the street, and sits by her when she's on lunch and breaks. Less than 6' away. She keeps peanuts with her. I've worked on keeping them off the lines above the car and they've come to respect that for the most part.My thing is with Crows........................................

Crows are land based Seaguls. They are the inland flying pig! They eat anything and everything. Destroy garbage cans trying to get to food scraps. Not sure why but they remind me of the homeless plaque the country is dealing with. So yeah, it's a bad thing. Gammo "Whisper" .177 pellet rifle and a decent scope.I can't hate the scrub jays.

Starlings are the devil. But they'll scream in pain for a bit if you hit them just right with a pellet.

those bird some hate are batter to have around than most of the people that live in this neighborhood. More open and friendly, that's for sure.
A friend told me about a cool device to attract crows for decimation. Apparently they can't stand to see a wounded crow and mass from all around anytime they see one. He took a dead crow and tied fishing line to its leg and hung it upside down. Other end was attached to a sawzall to make motion so that it looked like a wounded crow flopping around caught in a wire or something. He claimed it brought in crows by the hundreds.Crows are land based Seaguls. They are the inland flying pig! They eat anything and everything. Destroy garbage cans trying to get to food scraps.

I believe it. I heard a story about a guy killing a crow and just like you said. Every Crow in the area knew one just died and they flocked to the dead bird and scwaucked for about an hour. In all honesty they are very intelligent and they all have some sort of mental connection. The friend that told me the story also had styro foam Crow decoys and and Owl decoy. He put the Owl out and made it look like the Crows were advancing or surrounding the Owl. I guess it worked.A friend told me about a cool device to attract crows for decimation.

Reminds of what they say in Wyoming, "You can tell what wrecked your fences, the deer go over, the antelope go under and the elk go through."These darn things stroll through my pasture at least once a week. If I'm lucky, they'll only partially take down a fence.

My dad used to live in Manzanita and it was not uncommon to wake up and find a herd of 50-100 or so Elk standing in driveways, lawns and the street. He was especially fond of them walking across his putting green and sinking up to their ankles...lolThese darn things stroll through my pasture at least once a week.
