    Is there any way of 'moving on' crows from an area. There are a heap of them in a tree opposite the gaff and they find their voice at 6am every morning. The girlfriend works late and she's being driven mad by it - so shes driving me mad about it.

    Thanks.

    You do know this is a nature forum, we generally discuss nature and wildlife not the best way to kill it.
    A slingshot is just a good way to maim.

    As for the crows their young are probably fledging so they would tend to a lot noisier at this time of year, they may well settle a good bit a little later in the year.
