Here's how to attract crows to your garden in a fast and nature-friendly way.
Steps
Step 1. Remove anything from the garden that might scare crows
Step 2. Prepare food that may attract them
Sprinkle some bird food or corn kernels. Do not leave meat or dairy products outside, they could attract other birds of prey. Make sure you put enough of them so that the crows arrive in large numbers.
Step 3. Do you want them to stay longer?
When they start eating, keep stocking them with food.
Step 4. If you don't want them to stay too long, avoid spilling too much food first
!
Step 5. This should be enough to attract them
If that's not enough, try making a mix of bird food and bacon lard or bacon fat, then spread it out in the garden.
Step 6. Put water in small open containers so that the crows can drink from them
Step 7. You could also use raven calls to attract them
Some good electronic calls to buy might be ones that simulate a call for help and a call to rally. You may also want to purchase a decoy that can reproduce a warning sign in case they start getting into trouble. Calls that simulate wrestling cries (raven fighting, a crow fighting an owl, and a crow fighting a hawk) can be used to summon crows (because they will come to help in the "fight"). For the same reason you could also use a call that simulates the cry of a wounded crow (the other ravens will come to help the "wounded crow").
Advice
- Dogs and cats will not allow crows to reach your garden. If you have dogs or cats, keep them indoors when trying to attract crows.
- Throwing shiny objects around the garden so birds can pick them up and take them to their nests might help. Just make sure they can't harm the birds.
Warnings
- Crows can make a lot of noise!
- Be careful and make sure your neighbors are not bothered by the arrival of crows in your garden.
