Mr Majyk Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 hey all, ive got a problem with the corvids on one of my permissions. the little blighters keep causing damage to a converted barn which my landowner lets for holidays to make some extra income. waking guests up in the early morning pecking on the windows, pulling sealant out from round the windows AND NOW theyve managed to dislodge some roof tiles and get into the flipping roof! im going out with the doecoys this saturday but i cant be there all the time so i suggested to my landowner that he get a "fake bird of prey" ive seen fake owls used to keep away pigeons with good success but im wondering if theres anything which will work well with corvids? i know there smart little feathered foes but will this work at all?

TIGHTCHOKE Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 You will need to come up with several different ways of hitting them, Air Rifle, Decoys and Shotgun, moving your owl. This will hopefully keep you one step ahead of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
