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...

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
