    Ha! Good thinking ....but I already have one of those.

    Whilst not totally useless - we had even MORE crows nesting next door before aka a few years ago - it hasn't eliminated them either.

    i guess it is true what they say - crows are fiercely intelligent. They soon figure out and discern a real threat from a pretend one. Sigh..

    Yet to defend the Crow be Gone people. I would like to let you know that I to also use the same Cd with great results. We now wake to an undisturbed morning without the endless cawing of crows. I understand that food sources can be a big problem with crows. Also waiting to long and letting the crows settle and nest before using the Crow be Gone CD may have contributed to your major issue. I'm for things that work without killing the creatures and we are very pleased with our results.

    Could you get a cat?! (Not to catch them (hopefully), but it'd scare them off.)

    I HAVE a cat.....my neighbours have cats...

    ......and yet the stressful noisemakers are still there.
  • Unsure of if this would work or not, but would your neighbour let you tie something noisy to the tree branches (noisy for the birds not you) so it would scare them off, say something that rattled or clanged in the wind?

    Maybe just a wind chime?

    Or squirt them with water? Harmless...

    Not the greatest name, you should have called it "Crow Barred"

    That is great that the CD worked for you. Maybe I expressed myself badly when saying " it wasn't totally useless" - for all I know we would have 3 x the number of crows nesting without it.

    But I am not exactly clear on what you are saying:

    Did you have crows NESTING in your trees which were sucessfully repelled by the crowsbegone CD?

    Or did they simply visit and now no longer do?

    Did you install an outside speaker for when the CD was playing?

    With all due respect...but it is NOT spam.

    Some people swear by it ( according to the testimonials anyway) and some have less luck with it, but it is a perfectly valid suggestion as a crow repellent.

    I assure you, if it HAD worked for me I'd be shouting the company's praise from the roof top.
