Tips & Warnings
Crows are loudest and most annoying when they roost, usually in the early evening, and after breeding, when they are trying to feed young birds.
Crows may form a mob and set off an alarm cry as they harass an owl, hawk or other animal they perceive to be dangerous to them.
Crows are protected by federal law but can be hunted in certain states during specific times of the year. Check with your local fish and game department before attempting to shoot crows, or you could be in violation of the law.

I don't hate crows but they must be controlled and other things protected including ourselves

I have seen a flock of crows kill a foal being birthed by a valuable mare who was blinded by the crows and had to be put down; I have seen calving cows have there calves killed by these things and in the little village I live in in QLD I have heard reports of a man being attacked and a pram while mum was in the local shop thank goodness she had a fly sheild on the pram or they could have hurt the baby. Another lady had her tiny dog attacked it is so wrong and the laws need fixing quick smart! The crows have gone from occupying 2 large trees near our community hall at night to all of them! Is Alfred Hitchocks movie the birds going to be reality for there are more crows in this area now then people etc and as a terminally ill person I would like to enjoy my garden without the noise or knowledge of these things; there has to be a regular culling every where or somehing because like man has stuffed things up in the balance of things the crows aren't far behind and they are getting heiniously brave and it is scary! For the love of all that's good some one wake up the rule makers because something has to be done- I love most of Mother natures creatures but the crow is not one of them. Everything has a balance and by banning the culling of these creatures the balance has been upset-I consider myself a decent person but enough is enough Pminxy.

anyone with ideas for the robins and babies, while we go camping?

We have Robins and their 3 babies. We also have a big dog..who will sit outside and nobody will come around. *He's friendly" but Crows don't know that.We bought a hanging bushy plant to hid their nest which is built ontop of our outdoor back light fixture. I have seen Crows and one Magpie come near..and I was ready to act, with a broom. These robins trust us. Any suggestions from anybody as to what to do, when we go away for the upcoming weekend?

Those are pretty weak tips. I notice they did not mention a BB gun.
