Default Crows stealing pebbles

Yeah, before you're married might put him off, so just use something light
like a broom until you've got him all legally bound.

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

Damn goes to show, crow bait is availalble. No one would have
thought.
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...
