Scaring crows

Mach Two

Any suggestions as to how to scare crows out of milking parlour. Maybe 100 going in.

Put covers on the meal hoppers?

Roller door or doors on the entrances?

Play Fortunate Son on a constant loop on the radio?

Covers on the meal bins. Can't put doors on the entrance as part of a big shed. Might try a radio.

Hate, hate, hate to say this but in 40 years the only thing I’ve seen wait was when my dad hung up a dead crow at the shed entrance.

Literally nothing else has worked.

We just try now and have open meal for as short a time as is possible, usually 6-8 weeks Wien sucks are being reared we have meal in trough all the time.

Crows are horrid things.

If I was a crow, especially a crow from the deep south, i'd be hanging around that shed all day to listen !!:D

Tack some netting (used net wrap or similar) across the top of the entrance they're using

If they could not see it and they flew in to it it would frighten them.

You could try one or two of those.
