DAMN CROWS, ruining my skylight

[kermalou]

in the mornings, these damn crows start pecking and walking all over my skylight.

it's driving me nuts. i dont think that they can break the skylight, but this pecking sound in the mornings is killing me.

 

[dighn]

maybe the crows are seeing their own reflections

try putting a piece of paper under it?

Why would crows just randomly peck at your skylight?

Do you have hot female crows in your house or something?

There isn't much you can do. Try and scare them off with a loud noise, they probably won't come back after a few times.

Gently place one of these next to the skylight.

 

[kermalou]

the funny thing is, there are three skylights and they are pecking at mine only....

I've not tried, but have heard of some stuff called Hot Foot - it's a gel type stuff you put where you don't want the birds to be and they get freaked out by the "sticky foot" feeling and won't come back.

West Nile should do the trick.

 

[lMlHuxley]

kill two every morning with a bb gun. Eventually they will stop coming back. End of story. I like animals but i hate black birds kill them all

 

[GasX]

lol @ West Nile

If you put up a fake Owl, it will keep the other birds away.

That "Front Towards Enemy" thing always makes me laugh, kind of like the "Place Burger Here" on the wrappers at Wendy's.

Have you ever seen "The Birds" ?

Any Canaries or anything in your room so that they are homing in on you only?

 

[kermalou]

an owl might do it....

I don't know what kind of birds they are but we've been getting some pecking at our windows almost every day. It's definitely the reflection thing (windows are tinted).

I'm thinking of going with the fake-owl approach myself.

Uh, ok.

That's intelligent.

Maybe a scarecrow?

 

[Homerboy]

get one of those plastic owls and put it next to the skylight on the roof.

or a 12-Gauge.

I snipe with them myself. I can pick a quarter off a fencepost from 200 yards.

Thumbtacks & superglue-place them all around the edge of your skylight.

I know many people in the military and I can say a few of them definately need that sort of help.
