Default Crows stealing pebbles

Well, the obvious approach would be the good old frying pan over the head.
Or the rolling pin, depends on personal taste.

Here am i writing about sticks and stones. Stone the crows....

Mmm talking about bait, I may try scattering some pebbles around that
area of the yard and put a balloon on a string near the pebbles.
Next, place some drawing pins between the balloon and myself, then
pull string when crow is conveniently close. Watch crows face when
balloon bursts. I'm sure the neighbours already think I'm potty, so
it won't make much difference.

I'm tired of running outside and they see me approaching now. My
husband couldn't be bothered anymore after the first few runs. Had a
go with a short burst on the hose but other than there being a hose
pipe ban on, it doesn't reach as far as I'd like it to and there's an
obstacle in the way. The crows have also spotted my hand reaching for
the hose just outside the door and they fly off before I can get the
pleasure of squirting them.

Next stop dynamite.



Simple, put some strands of fishing line where they steal their
diamonds. Flying into invisible fishing line un nerves them and they
wont be back.

Just make sure hubby knows the fishing line's there too...
