"You're as intelligent as a crow" wouldn't be an insult! This pest bird is amazingly intelligent. Crows are capable of memorizing garbage routes, and they will forage around every Tuesday when your garbage is hauled out to the curb.  They may even show up every Sunday afternoon to the family BBQ in the back yard to scavenge for leftovers.  In no time at all, this pest crow has parked his whole family and friends in the trees on your property.  They, too, are family oriented and have a tendency to stay where they are born and raised.  Remember the opening scene of Steele Magnolias, as Drum Eatenton is shooting at birds in the trees of his back yard with his shotgun in preparation for his daughter's afternoon wedding reception.

Using state of the art technology as a bird deterrent in a movie scene might not be as humorous as a shot gun, in everyday life it would be a much more humane and safe way to rid your trees of pest birds.  The results, however, would be as dramatic. 

Most can spot a crow easily by its two obvious characteristics.  They are big black birds about the length of a large cereal box, and they make a very loud and distinct "caw" sound.  By changing the sound of their "caw," they are able to communicate danger and distress, as well as sending out the "ring the dinner bell" call to alert other crows and other species of birds.  While their distinct "caw" is language to them, to us it is not a melodic chirping of a bird, but a loud and disturbing nuisance.

By day the crows are dispersed over a fairly wide area, and about an hour before dusk they start to cooperatively fly back to the communal roost while gathering more flocks as they near their evening resting spot.  Before this pest bird settles in for the night, the noise level can be tremendous as the crow finds suitable space on its tree branch all collectively crowding into the roost bickering for their resting spot.  These communal roosts can be in one location for numerous years.

It is also important to keep infested areas clean of the health risks associated with the roosting crows.  The most serious health risks for people nearby an active roost site are the disease organisms growing in the accumulation of droppings, feathers, and debris found under where they roost.  Crows and other birds that roost in one place over a period of time may harbor the fungus (Histoplasma capsulatum) that causes the acute respiratory disease, histoplasmosis, which is caused by breathing in the spores spawned from the roost.

Humane and effective bird control products are available to keep pest crows away from your property.  Sonic devices work well in outdoor areas that crows inhabit.  They have the ability to scare birds away using the target birds own distress calls and predator calls.  These units can cover up to six acres.  Sonic units are easy to use and program , some can work to rid over 20 different types of birds.  You simply select your "target" bird and it plays a distress "caw" for 2 minutes, it then stops for 10 minutes and repeats.  You can adjust the volume and time to play day or night.  For larger areas as in agricultural regions, parks, golf courses and campuses, there are satellite speakers that can be added to expand the range of effectiveness covering six acres.

As easy as watering the lawn with a sprinkling system, you can get rid of pest crows with a sonic bird deterrent.
