Crazy crows

There are these to large crows/raven at my work that attack peoples cars and do quite a bit of damage. My friend classic Mustang received $3000 in paint damage recently
I caught one on my hood before they started to attack my windshield. They see their reflections and think they are other crows trespassing on their territory.


I need an air rifle =

they seem to mainly go after rubber molding, trim and wiper blades. I guess they feel like they are actually doing something when pieces come off..

You definately need a car cover. Or a large rubber snake or one of those blow up owls. Damn crazy crows... Bust a cap in 'em!

Just thinking about that movie "The Omen" makes me shiver...

Glad we don't really have crows 'round here...

Work is located at Pt. Reyes National Seashore. Protected land - may have to get rid of them on the DL.

You should invest in a cover for your car.

I have seen behavior much like this with some Cardinals in VA. They attack the side mirrors and make a mess all over them.....I think it is a mess from trying to mate its reflection if you know what I mean..........crazy stuff but nothing like the carnage in your pics!

you should just talk to the crows and ask them nicely to stop.

You should put a dead crow on the windshield, that would scare all the crows away. :D
