Dead Crow Deterrent Scare Away Crows - Fake Black Crow 17" Long

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.

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.

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.

Crows are super annoying. I put this up in my apartment balcony and it seems to work. You need to move it around and change style of hanging to convice them to stay gone.

I read the reviews before I purchased and was impressed and hopeful. Unfortunately the crow that is has been using my birdbath is still using it. I have tried moving the decoy but the crow is sadly not falling for this trick at all. The decoy its self seems well made and life like but for me was a waste of money.

We feed some feral cats at our place of business, and the local crows decided that they wanted some of that food, too. But they didn't want to go near the cats, so they would sit at a distance and start cawing and screeching at them incessantly, and it rapidly became quite annoying. I tried chasing them away and throwing rocks near them to scare them off, but they would simply laugh at me and come back for more. I started looking for alternatives and bought this crow. First off, this fake crow is remarkably realistic and very well constructed for the price. We've had it hanging outdoors for over 6 months, and it has held up exceptionally well. I half expected the thing to start dropping feathers after the first rain, but it still looks like the day we bought it. I hung it upside down on a bush near the cat food, and almost immediately three or four crows gathered on the power lines and started screeching at the dead crow. It was obvious that they were reacting to it in an agitated way, so I knew they fell for it. Within a few days the crows stopped coming around, and they haven't bothered us for six months now. They are still in the neighborhood, but they avoid our area like the plague. No more annoying crows. It worked!!!

My initial order must have been destroyed in shipping because it was flagged undeliverable and returned by Amazon. They issued a refund, I contacted the seller and said forget the refund just ship me another. The seller was easy to communicate with. Amazon issued the refund anyway. I contacted the seller again to figure out how to pay him since I knew they had already shipped me a new another. They said not to worry about it. I put it by my compost bins after it arrived. Its sturdy and well made. The crows would get in them and scatter food scraps everywhere. I haven't seen a crow in them since.
