    I enjoy the noise, in particular when they settle down in the evening...I say that they are telling their babies bed-time stories. Perhaps thinking about them in a positive way will help. I also love the way the sun glints off their black feathers in a rainbow of blues and greens. Find some of the legends of North America which involve the cleverness of the crow. Enjoy!

    Buy a cheapo air gun and fire into the trees if you do it two or three times a day you will scare them off.
    Dont get arrested by the armed response units that operate near your house tho

    Nothing will dislodge rooks from their rookery short of felling all the trees.
    Some rookerys have been in existance for decades ,possibly hundreds of years .

    So not even Rook Pie is a solution? :confused:
