Comment on How do I re-establish peaceful relations with a family of crows?

  It’s to help repel the other birds that aren’t crows a bit more, while the crows quickly figure out it’s not alive and a symbol for them.

  Or so I’m told. Maybe I should start a Kickstarter to help fund a double blind experiment and see what crows prefer:

  Effigy, No effigy, Effigy of a different bird

  And then set up many of these little crow shrines around and see how they do

    I know crows are can be smart, but aside from an exceptional one here and there, I sincerely doubt a bird is going to see an effigy of a bird, and recognize it as a picture of them.

      I’m no bird scientist either, but I do know Crows pass the mirror test, so it makes sense to me they could probably recognize other Crows

        I’m certain they can recognize other crows. As in living birds.

  Instructions unclear, angry murder
