They will steal food from your hands and have attacked people in some areas.

Otherwise, separate the food out, and set it where the crows can get to it without tearing up the bags...<BR/><BR/>And if they wanna cut down on crow numbers, I wonder if anyone's considered birth control...I mean with all the money they're spending on stuff...(that ends up in garbage bags on the street anyway)...maybe it would be put to better use to reduce the number of offspring produced, or have more of the couplings NOT produce at all.<BR/><BR/>But personally, what ever they do, I hope the crows come out on top.<BR/><BR/>Blackouts caused by black crows.

They were poisoning the pigeons in Denver for a while. One of the problems is that non-offender birds will eat the poison seed too.Cie Cheesemeisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14871507564733240927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13500763.post-87020861043253330012008-05-09T16:57:00.000-07:002008-05-09T16:57:00.000-07:00JJ - holy crow!

One man's pet is another's vermin I suppose. (I also like squirrels, geese and seagulls, and Hitchcock too LOL)<BR/><BR/>Anonymous - Mother Nature takes quite a beating herself at times. It is Man packing the power punch.<BR/><BR/>SOe - I like the crows & ravens... we saw the same thing on our recent trip to Iceland, where the ravens were having a bountiful breakfast feast from the garbage sacks overflowing from a container. I don't think there are too many rats in Iceland are there? <BR/><BR/>G - How was the flight picking up Tali? (you know, as the crow flies...)<BR/><BR/>Anonymous - There is little doubt that crows are no dummies. I think it is laughable that the Japanese had to create a Crow Patrol. Sheesh?! Dogs bite more people than crows do - make more mess too. Where's the dogcatcher?<BR/><BR/>Dr. John - Deer <I>are</I> bad! They eat my garden every year as if it were a big saladbar laid out just for them. Give me the crows anytime.<BR/><BR/>Tom & Icy - They love to have all the comforts of home in their nests - computer, lights, phone, etc.<BR/><BR/>Photowannabe - I hardly consider them pests - but they can be intimidating in large flocks of noisy cawing. I think the population here in the East Bay is on the upswing.<BR/><BR/>Volcanicsoul - My dear, I fear you are prejudiced. :)<BR/><BR/>Jillie - they are really quite shy, amusing and funny to watch. Their babies sound as though they are being gagged and killed when they are being fed by the parents. I'd give my eyeteeth for a crow to rehabilitate - and keep.<BR/><BR/>G - Surely you jest (about the jobs - LOL!) No company would be caught "eating crow" by providing for the ones being relocated...tsduffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06457805824149563737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13500763.post-87238235393321541202008-05-09T08:18:00.000-07:002008-05-09T08:18:00.000-07:00This is indeed fascinating.

One day the loud noises of the crows wake me. They sure had fun to destroy the bags! On the next day there were seagulls. I think it´s stupid to use plastic trash bags and let them outside for some time - crows may be okay but think about rats!SOehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00947805948348210628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13500763.post-74084956659618293402008-05-08T09:54:00.000-07:002008-05-08T09:54:00.000-07:00mother nature gets to bat last...always a great sh...mother nature gets to bat last...always a great show of power hitters....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13500763.post-65924208717175877622008-05-08T09:42:00.000-07:002008-05-08T09:42:00.000-07:00holy cow, er, you know what i mean...its kinda lik...holy cow, er, you know what i mean...<BR/>its kinda like the Japanese version<BR/>of squirrels,<BR/>no make that geese,<BR/>or seagulls...<BR/>it is rather Hitchcockesque, aint it!javajazzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14519195811911296496noreply@blogger.com
