Store Trash Securely to Prevent Pecking
Crows have sharp beaks and talons, which make for the perfect tools to cut and rip into bags of seeds, trash or other sources of food. Once crows have a consistent and readily available source of food, they become much harder to get rid of. To prevent crows from using your property as an easy source of nourishment, consider the following tips:
- Put your garbage in a safe and secure bin
- Purchase food containers with locked lids
- Never leave bags of food or seeds out in the open
Purchase Small Bird Feeders to Keep Crows Out
Crows can often intimidate smaller varieties of birds into leaving your property, backyard or garden. If you’d like to welcome smaller birds to your property without inviting crows, purchase a bird feeder that won’t dispense nuts and seeds to birds over a certain size. However, be sure to clean up spilt food on the ground to prevent crows from gathering anyway.
