Holy cow! I know where this is!!!!!!! I'm going to have to see about dispatching these things.... Obviously they are pests... I forgot all about this little girl. She supposedly had a relatively nice diamond ring dropped to her by her friends.

Yeah I know first hand how smart crows can be. I have tried many times to shoot them but they always out smart me. However I finally got one of those buggers the other day but I had to resort to a 22lr.

Over many months I was able to get 5 crows off of a 200 acre spread. They do not perch or stop anywhere near this area now. When I enter other near by farms they see the truck and fly off. They will feed and perch amidst other trucks and farm workers. It's amazing how smart they are.

The crow is the smartest of all birds. I would be willing to bet that they are smarter than your average Walmart shopper!

Crows Can Distinguish Faces In a Crowd - National Wildlife ... Check out that link.
Yep, smart critters, but if you don't want them around that may work to your benefit. Kill one and parade around with it for the rest to see and they'll stay away from your area. Ted reported how they bypass his farm now after he shot one with a ricochet off a branch.

Scubajeepa, you crack me up. I used to live in Nth Seattle and was awoken one morning to them squawking their heads off at a cat cowering on my front lawn. Shot one of the noise makers who hung upside down from the wire for a few seconds then dropped. Their distress calls where heard far and wide and soon there were 30 - 40 all going at it hammer and tong. Alarmed, I ran and fetched the carcass to the bin. Thus ended the hullabaloo. It was a Sunday morning to boot. I sold my .22 S&W pump to a fella who had a pigeon problem in the Ballard area and that took care of that. Fun memories! Brian

Why is this not happening in my yard?!?!? LOL They are smart birds for sure. I have just a few by me and they are not really a bother. They will sit in the trees in my backyard all afternoon long chatting away, but as soon as I bring the Bobcat out on the deck... they GONE!
