    I'm so excited to read everyone else's stories on how well this is also working for them!! I hope this continues to help others as well! I'm laughing to myself imagining the sellers at Amazon scratching their heads like "dude, what's with the sudden rush on fake dead crows all over the country...

    What I've noticed in our yard is that the grackles seem to scare the doves away... when I put out the fake dead crow and the grackles went away, the doves seemed to come back and now have nests throughout the yard... which I don't mind too much - they're kind of sweet birds... not sure if the...

    Woo-hoo - that's awesome! I like how you're escalating things... when those grackles see the dismembered one, they should really flip out! It'll be your neighbors you'll have to start worrying about next! 🤣 "No really, these aren't actually dead birds!"

    I love your selection of birds - that's great! You've even selected torn off body parts to lay around like some coyote got ahold of one! I can see that you're 100% committed! :ROFLMAO:

    That's awesome! :ROFLMAO: Ever since my kids introduced me to "Bathtime in Clerkenwell" (check it out on YouTube if you're not familiar), I've been imagining the grackles doing this! :ROFLMAO: We have to laugh, right?!

    I hope the 'dead crow' works for you. If it does, maybe you can lay another one under the trees. I have heard people have had good luck hanging the dead crows - they come with strings attached (;)) for this purpose, so maybe hanging one from the lowest branch might work? Or as @mariane...

    I've got my fingers crossed for you! All of my talking this up has me nervous now :ROFLMAO: At least this is what has worked for us! And it's absolutely worth a try! I think we're all willing to try anything within the bounds of the law, and even then I can understand what desperation might...

    After it arrived, I put it out there during the night while the grackles were gone - I didn't want them to see me putting it there LOL. I don't know if that was silly or not, but I've heard they're smart birds, so I didn't want to take any chances.

    Hi Mariane, I'm sorry to hear the struggle you've been having! We finally had to replace the 'dead crow' with a new one... so, the first one lasted about 10 months. To answer your question, 10 months later it is still working great! We are now starting to have one brave bird come by, but...
