Crows eat carrion....seems they benefit the countryside.I live in north America and raise 600 lambs yearly,and the only lambs iv ever seen crows eat the eyes were stillborn on the range....you English have a perverse fascination over managing the countryside and destroying ANYTHING wild.
I think its about the exit entry space between the ladder rungs thats smaller than the birds fully extended wing span . Although i dont if crows are quite smart enough to hang on the rung and crawl out. If it works it works !
Tom Reaume <tom9reaume@gmail.com> 8:48 PM (0 minutes ago) to UA-cam Hi Actually I'm a Canadian, who has studied crows in the field for several years. The problems you mention are minor. Crows also eat a lot of harmful insects and mice. Killing crows doesn't make sense. Here the American Crows over the winter peck into the stalks of field corn and eat the larvae of European Corn Borers. In Essex County where this study was done, and published, was a roost of about 100,000 crows that developed each winter. A few whiners in town forced the politicians who are quite gullible to harass the crows until they left Essex County altogether. A flock that size would eat millions of Corn Borer larvae each winter. Now they are gone and the farmer has to use a lot more insecticide to replace the sustainable free control the crows did every winter for decades. They grow a lot of field corn in southern Ontario. Study the crows closely to see what their feeding habits really are about. tom.
Exactly, and not to mention how intelligent they are. It's an immoral lose-lose situation and to be honest people who kill crows deserve every bit of the impacts such activities would have. Stuff like this really validates misanthropy to me.
If you read research articles on crows, and not popular gibberish in newspapers, you will find crows eat a lot of insects that eat crops, and mice are one of their favorite foods. Give the crows a break. Don't believe the old-fashioned ideas and myths that are passed down through the generations. Crows rarely eat songbirds. After 6 years of fieldwork I have only seen one robin's nest pilfered. The robins will quickly renest if time. More songbirds are killed from crashing into the windows of your home than crows ever will eat. Crows are not a threat to wild waterfowl eggs and young. More mythology.
You're not a farmer so you dont understand. Hooded/ gray crows do many things, such as pick the eyes and brains (through the nostrils) out of lambs and sheep that are vulnerable such as sheep that are stuck on their backs. They are also destructive to ground nesting birds especially game birds like pheasant and grouse. Corvids can spread disease especially on dairy farms. They poke holes in silage bales, making the silage rancid. You are the one with the mythology, then again, you're an American so you have to spout garbage without knowing anything.
Crows will run hawks off and pilfer hawk nests to do so. They don't do it for the hawks chicks either. They do it to run the hawks off the voles and field mice.

Helping the farmer how? ....Oh right, they make a big mess...they are noisy...they are destroying the planet...Wait, are we talking about crows or farmers?
For anyone wondering why someone would want to catch and kill crows (especially greybacks) is because they kill newborn lambs and their mothers. If a ewe ends up on its back and can't get up or if lamb is a bit weakly then the crows will pick out its eyes and tongue and they die a slow painful death. They're not endangered (at least not in Ireland and the UK). The are in fact doing very well on numbers because of human waste and lack of predators. So long as they are killed humanely then it is perfectly fine to kill them.
Thankyou very much
What do you bait them with?
Destroying wildlife for fun???crows dont harm anything

Thanks for sharing .Used to use them for jackdaws when I was keeper very effective tool .Empty at night .
Why though? What harm do they do? If anything they belong here more than people do.

Crows are smart, generally they do a great job of controlling much worse pests than they cause damage.
Cheers for giving the right size for the ladder spacing

: )
Good man keep up the good work
Just curious why is this in the comedy section
Because the poster is a living joke
i will build this to make my self a tamed crow army
Crows can be trained to gather coins for a bit of seed. If one crow learns from another, an army may gather big bucks.
