Anti-freeze soaked anything will kill just about any animal. Just don't get caught on the crows though.  They fall under the federal migratory bird treaty and you can get shit on big time. 

19 13 Some states protect crows as birds of prey.  Be careful.

I not aware on any.  Usually crows are considered pests and it is an open season, although poisoning them might not go over too well.

20 Crows are smart bastards though, just take a gun out and try to shoot one. I swear they recognize it and fly away.

I have an alternative plan for riding out this spate of joblessness I've been suffering from, and it involves crows.

22 Vic, I think you are thinking about Sea Gulls. Here is a rule ALLOWING you to kill the shit out of them.

Federal law provides for a depredation order for crows when committing or about to commit depredations or when concentrated in such numbers and manner as to constitute a health hazard or other nuisance. For a complete copy of the Depredation Order, see 50 CFR, Part 20.43.

Normally I'd agree, but I visited the French Quarter before Katrina.  You could not find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy in the galaxy.  The only thing Katrina did to the French Quarter was wash the vomit off the streets.

My favorite FQ story: a six year old and an eight year old had bottle caps affixed to their shoes and were tap dancing for money.  Some tourist gave the six year old a dollar.  The eight year old walked over and punched the six year old dead in the face and took the dollar.  Then the stupid tourist took the dollar away from the eight year old and gave it back to the six year old.  I still wonder just how bad a beating that six year old got later.

26 Why, why oh why, is that news?  And not just news, but Breathless Continuous-Coverage News.

Because otherwise they would have to cover meaningful shit, like Republicans being assaulted by thugs, and Democrats extending unemployment benefits past two years without having anyway to pay for them.

Ed Koch Blasts Obama On Israel

Koch pointedly accused Obama of trying to "so weaken the resolve of the Jewish state and its leaders that it will be much easier to impose on Israel an American plan to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, leaving IsraelÂ’s needs for security and defensible borders in the lurch."

And he added, "I believe President Obama’s policy is to create a whole new relationship with the Arab states of Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt, and Iraq as a counter to Iran – The Tyrannosaurus Rex of the Muslim world which we are now prepared to see in possession of a nuclear weapon. If throwing Israel under the bus is needed to accomplish this alliance, so be it."

33 #34

These crows would eat the damn cat.  They already fight with the local Red Tail Hawk.

34 Vic, I think you are thinking about Sea Gulls. Here is a rule ALLOWING you to kill the shit out of them.

From the the Internet Wildlife Management site maintained by several agricultural colleges:

Crows are protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, a federal act resulting from a formal treaty signed by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. However, under this act, crows may be controlled without a federal permit when found “committing or about to commit depredations upon ornamental or shade trees, agricultural crops, livestock, or wildlife, or when concentrated in such numbers and manner to constitute a health hazard or other nuisance.”

States may require permits to control crows and may regulate the method of take. Federal guidelines permit states to establish hunting seasons for crows. During these seasons, crows may be hunted according to the regulations established in each state. Regulations or interpretation of depredation rules may vary among states, and state or local laws may prohibit certain control techniques such as shooting or trapping. Check with local wildlife officials if there is any doubt regarding legality of control methods.

Yes you can kill them, but under specific rules. I doubt if anti-freeze falls in one of those categories.

35 #36

I understand anti freeze tastes sweet, that's why most animals will drink it or eat it. 

I KNOW it kills alligators.

Don't axe me how.

36 Kemp, they sell these "owl decoys" and they apparently scare the crap out of crows.   Then again you can go the old fashioned route and make a "scare crow"

37 In a different thread somebody mentioned a story on American Thinker about Obama skipping out on the press Saturday.  The comments on the story seem to think it was a visit paid by Obama to the Kenya embassy to keep the  newest birth certificate story from coming out.  Has anyone else read that story?  Why isn't the media covering this?  There is not even reports that he took the SS with him.

38 I understand anti freeze tastes sweet, that's why most animals will drink it or eat it.

Getcha a buzz too.

39

Do you want to kill the crows, or just get them the hell away from your place?  Poison will only work for a little while; they'll learn not to eat anything you leave out for them (you'll probably kill more of anything else than you will the crows).  Then they'll just roost at your place (still making the noise) but won't eat anything.

Crows have a very high intelligence for grasping cause/effect concepts.

You might be better off getting one of those owl decoys and moving it around frequently -- owls often raid crow nests, so crows will either vacate the area or mob the owl.  I suggest an owl decoy rigged with some flash-bangs.  Make the environment a pita, and the crows will leave.

 

**or you could give me the crows...

40 Yes you can kill them, but under specific rules. I doubt if anti-freeze falls in one of those categories.

I'd be mighty surprised if it did, although, I am pretty sure you can poison them.

56 Reason with the crows. Invite them in for a beer and talk it out. Reset the paradigm.

57 Kemp; you are in SC right?  Here is what they say about crows in SC:

Crows
A hunting license and free Migratory Bird (HIP) Permit are required to hunt crows. Crows are migratory birds and as such, are a federally- protected species. The season is based on criteria established by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. The open season for crows on private lands in South Carolina is November 1 - March 1. There is no bag limit. During the open season on private lands, crows may be taken with any firearm, bow and arrow, or by falconry. Crow hunting on WMA lands is permitted. During the open season for small game hunting on WMAs, crows may only be hunted with weapons legal for small game. In Game Zone 1 no buckshot or rifles greater than .22 rimfire may be used except during deer and bear season (50-11-380). The use of electronic calls for crow hunting is permitted statewide on private land and WMA land. Crows damaging crops may be taken at any time without a federal permit (50 CFR 21.43).

Not in SC, and I am in city limits. 

This not going to be a "hunt" this is going to be an extermination.

Off the showers you damn crows!

64

56  Ok, my nefarious and somewhat cracked plan is out:

Crows are highly intelligent, especially with cause/effect concepts, and they learn from each other.  Get a crow taught that picking up money (coins are easiest, but paper money could be taught with time) and depositing it will get them a peanut (they love peanuts).  Pretty soon more crows learn from the one crow...and you have a nice little stash of cash, for peanuts, literally.

Yes, when I was a kid we had a pet crow, Joe.  This does work -- although the legalities are something I'd have to figure out.  But hey, if society goes to hell in a handbasket anything is on the table (including crow, if the little bastiges decide to go on strike).

65 Oh, Vic, speaking of Crows, I am going to see Sheryl Crow tonight.  She was in SC last night.

Ok, going about this all the wrong way.  You use the flashbangs, sure.. then when the cops arrive you just say you were reducing your flashbang stockpile in honor of Obama's disarmament talks.

If you give them some spiel about protecting your property or anything that could be construed as "harming" the poor crows you'll wind up in a federal prison.  Make yourself sound like a left wing loon and you could be out there flinging high explosives nude and nobody will say boo to you.

Sad but true.

On a slightly related note a mixture of about 65-70% Magnesium and 33% gunpowder makes a nice flashbang if you don't already happen to have some handy.  Don't ask how I know that.

98 Ref the crows. Since you're in the city, break into a convienient hospital and take all the radio-isotopes you can find. Spray them all over the place - gamma emmiters would be best but alpha emmiters are ok if you put them in bait. There's a small chance you'll get Hulk-Crows but I wouldn't worry about it.

99 Hell those little pissant things from the hospitals will not do anything. Go for broke. Find a place that does radiography of pipe welds and steel their radiography source.

Just make sure that you have it pointed to the crows and you use a nice long cord to open the shutter.  It would be easy to kill that Moron as well as the crows.
