Bobba Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 I suspect there's no real answere to this but opinions would be welcomed. Crow shooting with my buddy the other day we discussed ways of attracting crows. I mentioned a post on here some time ago about the use of mirror balls, that they were thought to do the trick, and the fact that an Act (countryside and wildlife??) prohibited their use added credibility to their possible effectiveness. His response was "How does that make sense?" People put shining CD's on stings in gardens and allotments to scare away birds which has the opposite effect of attracting them in. So, there seem two possible uses for mirrors. An attractor or a repellant? Any folks have any views? Is there any evidence either way? Bob I hasten to add, either way, I will not be using one.

Paul223 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 I'd imagine they'd pick a fight with their reflection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1steele Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 mirrors or mirrored surfaces in general will deter most birds (until they realise what they are or get used to them) are but magpies seem to like them a lot. I don't think it would be much use attracting crows but it is illegal to use such a thing for that reason under the terms of the general licence.
