The crows around our house have been ridiculous this year. You hear them bouncing around on the roof. They fight on our front lawn; steal food from our BBQ; sit on our fence and scream. I did a little exploring; the town said they couldn’t do anything about them. On the record, they didn’t have any recommendations for what we could do. Off the record, I was ‘advised’ that a well-aimed slingshot couldn’t hurt. We also heard that hanging a dead crow in your yard will keep the others away (at least for a time). This, we had a good laugh over: “where are we gonna get a dead crow?? ”
Yesterday, when Justin is leaving for work, there are a
bunch of crows hanging out on the fence.
As he does on occasion, he aimed at them with his bee-bee gun. Yes – you’re not supposed to do this in
town, but Justin’s bee-bee gun, even when pumped up to the max, is …
tired. You can watch the bee-bee
come out of the gun, arc up, and s-l-o-w-l-y f-a-l-l. You can imagine then how shocked Justin was when he nailed a
crow and it dropped dead from the fence!
So ... what the heck?? We strung him up for a few days ...
post-note: What do you know ... we haven't had any crows in our yard since!! (although we almost scared off the neighbours with our voodoo magic too ...)
