    my mother moved into her new house in the past few weeks , situation is pretty annoying with regards crows and birds in general making noise , never mind sh1tting everywhere.

    anyone got any faith in those bird decoys , plastic falcons and owls ? , perhaps the " scary eye " type balloon things are better ?

    Plastic owls and falcons will probably get every crow in the area mobbing them. Is it an urban, suburban or rural area ? Lots of tall trees around ? Sounds like she mught have moved to an area with an existing roost.

    I suspect she'll get used to the noise after a while.

    its an area about 300 metres outside a village but is a one off house

    so the plastic birds will just fascinate the crows and not scare them at all ?
