## Description

Dead Crow Bird Scare Effigy - Crow Deterrent, Scare away flocks of Crows - 17" tall The Dead crow Deterrent is a full feathered realistic effigy of a dead crow in the classic "death pose". Crows are considered as one of the most intelligent bird species and are not easily fooled. Crows can easily adapt to their environment and quickly learn new skills to enable them to get at food sources. Use the Dead Crow Effigy on: * Use the Dead Crow Effigy to prevent Crows flocking in trees * Use the Dead Crow Effigy to prevent Crows from destroying crops * Use the Dead Crow Effigy to Scare Crows off Rooftops * Use the Dead Crow Effigy to scare away Large Flocks of Crows * Use the Dead Crow Effigy to keep crows off your deck or patio How do you solve a crow problem. We recommend purchasing 2 or more Dead Crow Bird Scare Deterrents along with other audio & visual crow deterrents to create an area that increases the birds fear and flight response to a predator threat. Hang the crow upside down near and around the problem area. One way to hang the crow is to use the Birdbuster Conduit Swivel Bracket in a pvc pipe and then hang the decoy upside down and/or in the upright position. The wind driven swivel bracket moves easily and the swaying decoy will alert the flocking crows to imminent danger. The Dead Crow Bird Deterrent can also be hung from a post in field or on a rooftop. To increase effectiveness scatter a few crows in a group on the ground under trees or on a rooftop. Effective against -Crows & Ravens The Crow Scare Decoy can also be great addition to your Halloween Haunted house or scary movie. NOTE: Advise protecting with polyurethane spray to prolong feathers. *No single product stands alone; a combination of Bird deterrents must be used with repeated reinforcement as necessary.

Review: This works! - I was desperate to stop the daily visitation of crows (over multiple weeks) in my backyard due to the irritating noise and unsightly deposits they left all over my newly stuccoed walls and patio, so I tried this unlikely solution of the "dead crow". It seems it's working! Two days have passed since a crow visitation occurred. I left the crow in the middle of the yard area and late in the afternoon about 4 arrived as usual. I noticed one circling it on the ground and others settled in the tree above making a lot of calling noises. Eventually they left and haven't returned since. That was Friday, today is Monday...if there are changes, I'll post again. So far, I couldn't be happier with this ourchase! Highly recommend. It's now 22 days later: The "dead crow" really works! The crows never returned, not once. The crow was initially attacked by a few animals in the night, once I noted that some feathers were dispersed around it. But otherwise, it's held up and more importantly, it drove the crows away within minutes after I deposited it in my back yard.
Review: WOW - great sleep next morning . Worked right away . - Installed this dead crow upside down on my upstairs balcony railing - I live in a small town near the beach with a lot of residential construction so Crows are around to scavenge. Our home sits up high so crows being crows f around in the morning on our area's roofs and Caw Caw Caw at Sunrise just to be the A holes they are ..... they also peck on my chimney's spark arrester just to make a point. You know they eat all the little birds nestlings and eggs in their nests. In the afternoon they f around again to let you know they are the boss. Not anymore - literally within hours of setting this up they were spooked ....... left immediately - did some fly by's and were very agitated. Then I set up a skeleton Cat from Halloween next to this DMF'r.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this scare away hummingbirds? I’m trying to protect their nests from crows.**
A: Doesn't scare hummingbirds, but we don't know where their nests are, so I don't know if they don't care about the dead crows or if they're just placed far enough away from the hummer nests.  We have two dead crows out in our yard that we move around, but the other birds don't really care about them at all.  Doves, sparrows, house finches, gold finches, blue birds, towees and rufus-sided towees all over the yard and at the feeder.  Lots of hummingbirds zipping around.  We don't feed them at a feeder, but we have lots of hummingbird-loved plants in the yard, so they're very active here.  The dead crows don't appear to have scared the hummers at all.

**Q: Can I just hang this and leave it in one spot for the crows to go away?**
A: HI, yes you can leave it in one spot, but Ideally you should hang more then one dead crow bird deterrent. The idea is to overwhelm them and therefore frighten them away from the area. We recommend also hanging other visual crow bird deterrents and if possible audio bird deterrents to scare away the problem crows.

**Q: Does it only work on crows. Or will it work for pigeons?**
A: If pigeons are anything like doves, the dead crows won't scare them -- at all.  Each evening we have 10-16 turtle and mourning doves browsing around under the birdfeeder, and the placement of the crows doesn't change or discourage them.

**Q: If I don’t nail it down will it fly away?**
A: It has a rope attached so it can be tied down.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tired of 5 AM wake up caws? This is your solution.
*by B***N on June 13, 2021*

We live next to a national park and most of the birds are lovely songbirds we enjoy listening to, but there were a few too many 5 AM wake up caws by a flock of incredibly loud crows that were disturbing our shuteye. I initially tried a low tech solution: clanging pots and pans together. The crows just sat in the trees and laughed at me. I don’t even want to think what my neighbors thought. So I started researching some different options and came across the faux dead crow. It works! Sweet silence in the early morning hours. For a month now! Just make sure to move it every couple days so it looks like the ‘predator’ is still lurking. Additionally, when a particularly plucky and confident crow gets too close, I play a YouTube video with distress crow sounds for five minutes. Don’t leave out in the rain regularly but mine has been rained on twice and is still intact. Highly recommended. And it hasn’t scared off the nice songbirds, just the crows.
