I have a crow...

[BriKah]

In Fairness the cat that the crow tried to grab had killed a crow last year beside my house. Do they hold grudges?

I will

In Texas we have a problem with some flocks of birds taking over trees in residental areas and a lot of people tie shiny aluminum pie tins in the tree. Maybe that would work here. .

I’ll be testing those thank you, I’ll also be getting videos of these incidents. They may be amusing to some.

As for comments on “scare crows”

I can’t imagine a scare crow helping if they aren’t afraid of humans.

As for agile, I’ve been trying to get my tree cut down, it’s difficult with covid as I can chop branches but need help for someone to catch them as they fall

Appreciate the advice and help, and as for the daft comments about talons- you don’t need talons to kill. Crows can take away full grown ducks if they wish to, and in my opinion - anyone who owns poultry who doesn’t know this- needs to do research!

You ever witness a cat being clawed at “without talons” and lifted half an inch off the floor, then tell me a crow can’t do it. You ever see a duck taken away by a crow and then tell me, it can’t happen.


You ever tell me a crow can’t drag and claw and knock a kitten out of a tree, then tell me it can’t happen.

You can laugh about it, but prove otherwise

I have always been under the impression that the Crows keep the Hawks away. I have seen the crows attack hawks in my yard many times. I do not think that the crows that live here can or would want to carry off a chicken, they seem to just want to protect their own babies during their own breeding seasons.

And YES! they are smart and hold grudges.

I honestly believe they are just protecting their babies, and feeding them. It’s why I won’t kill them , and I don’t want to scare them away- they sorta live here too.

They don’t get food here often by the looks of things , and that may be an issue. I’d be happy to feed them if they left my girls alone.
Not long back I rescued a crow from a dog, I feel kinda bad now cause it’s probably the one causing issue/being a parent
