grey crows at windows

niallys

Hi,
hopefully someone can help me out.I am building a new house near claremorris mayo and having awful trouble with grey crows at our new Windows. They are pecking at their reflection in Windows. they are at it constant throughout the day and especially at weekend when no one around.I have covered Windows with blue plastic but they are still at them,****ting all over sills and damaging rubber seals even through plastic. I bought a Larsen trap but have not caught a calling bird. Would anyone have a grey crow near claremorris, Mayo ? I have never handled birds so could do with guidance on what to do once I catch them in trap.grey crows are big feckers. Also if anyone wants to try shoot some crows for me I'd be delighted or any other suggestions be great. I have a feeling its just one crow doing the damage. Anyone come across this before?

If you stick a dead rabbit in one of the compartments of the trap, you might catch him! Set it beneath one of your windows!

My neighbour had the same problem with a grey crow last year he asked me to catch it i just shot it after a few attempts they are clever birds.

One of the lads in your local Gun club should be able to sort him out. Drop the NARGC an email for details on your nearest one
