Crow attacks,help

9 years ago

What can I do to save fledged baby blues from crows? First batch this year and crows ate 2. The first day, one lasted a week new batch in nest in day 10. Is it legal to kill crows? If so how we live in to suburbs so can't shoot

    Gosh, I see Crows around all the time & they don't seem to be interested in mne. However, many bigger birds will grab smaller birds/babies. Crows are protected, but are considered game in hunting. There are no limits to how many can be killed in hunting environments. So sorry that happened!

    I've never had a crow attack mine, either, but we don't see them ever in my backyard. I am so sorry too!

    They fledged today (4) and I spent day scaring off crows ,a hawk and a cat hope one or two make it this time also scared off a racoon though it wasn't trying to get up the pole with stovepipe baffle you'd think I lived in the wild instead of a neighborhood

    I never understand how cardinals have so many babies and they are just out on their own but we go through so much for the blues and have such heartache!! Maybe we just don't know how many cardinals are lost but I always have tons!
