Destructive crows

[Fieldlife]

Any recommendations for discouraging / deterring highly invasive and destructive crows that seem to have made yard their home? Nothing is safe they open plastic / crack Tupperware, fly into feed and tack room.

I put some stuff on the floor by my lorry for 2 minutes and they destroyed it.

I can make most stuff crow proof most of the time but if anyone forgets things get destroyed. They are very bold
& invasive!

Plastic wind owl.

I work at a feed store, and we've had so many bags damaged by crows.

If we can't get them inside immediately, then the plastic owl goes out onto the pallets and it really does work.

Thanks, do you have a link? Do they get wise to it?

Interested in this from the perspective of being fed up of getting woken up at 4.30am by a crow fighting its reflection in my windows. Tried scarecrows which didn’t work. Off to Google wind owls.

No they don't seem to get used to it. We've been using it for about 5 years.
It's never left outside if there are no pallets, so they don't get used to it.

My boss used to hang a dead one up (have to get someone to shoot one) and it worked well. Bit gross but they got so bad they were chasing the horses off their feed in the stables. It did seem to work

I am now running outside like a mad woman waving a tea towel every time I hear a crow!
Just wondering what predators crows have, Buzzards maybe? Would the sound of a buzzard keep them away?

I am going to try one of those owl statues

Would it work for pigeons and magpies do you think?

Watching this with interest. I have one that attacks the windscreen wipers on my lorry. If I pull the wipers away from the windscreen that seems to put them off. They also scatter the horse poo in my field in all directions so that it takes 3 times as long to pick up if I don't get to it early in the morning. Bloomin' birds.
