Anyone know a way to discourage noisy crows from hanging round in our back garden and making a racket just before dawn? DD is getting fed-up of being awoken early!

Thanks
Louise

    Don't bother getting a cat, the birds just laugh at mine.

    I always found a shotgun to be quite effective. Obviously it is slighly noiser than the crows but after a week or so there are no crows left.
