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...
