Contact a wildlife technology company for suggestions.
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.

Karen, I applaud your advocacy of nonlethal methods of dealing with "nuisance wildlife". Too many people share the attitude of our friend "Cops....247." Wildlife is getting crowded out of existence because there are too many people. Frankly it's unfortunate that the "nuisance people" in this world can't be shot and tied to poles. (Just kidding, sort of.)

I use one of those super soaker style squirt guns. It holds a lot of water and the high velocity spray shoots to the top of my tree or to my back fence to scare them off. It's easier than keeping my hose at the ready, and it's quite satisfying when I can surprise them and scare them off.

on 6/26/2008 A law protecting crows is a stupid law and no one is going to enforce it. Shoot one and tie it to a pole. They will not come around it.
