Before going deeper into all the information on here I would really appreciate a quick advice on this. I live between 2 farms and for some reason, I didn't notice or I didn't realise or the previous owner did something to keep the crows away somehow but I ended up buying a property COVERED in crows.

Hi OP - just wondering if you ever found a way of getting rid of that rookery?
Currently building a house on a site and have a rookery across 5 or 6 trees located adjacent to the site and on both next door neighbours back gardens. They seem to fly between the trees and make an absolute racket. Spent half a day working on site last week and had a pain in my head leaving with the noise. Every tradesman that's been to site has commented on the noise. Sh1tting all over the laneway too. Actually saw one of the neighbours feeding them bread a few evenings ago, was like a scene a Hitchcock movie.
Anybody actually managed to get rid of an established rookery? Don't want to go shooting birds in my new neighbour's back garden. Obviously can't cut down their trees either. Could try a hawk kite but wanted to hear some reviews first. Also could try a larson trap but there look to be 1000's of them so not sure that's really practical either.
