Anyone having trouble with crow of the mornings? I have a tree that is about 20 feet from the house and another about 40 feet. Just after dark they start filling the trees up. They are in there by the hundreds. Starting around 6:15 am they start making noise.This has been going on for a week now. When they all get going it sounds like something from a movie. I'm up early and it doesn't bother me too much but one of my neighbors is just going to bed. Had this happen about ten years ago same trees same times.

I had them last year in my big pines, but haven't had them yet this year. My Aunt over on Mulberry St had them last year as well. Here's what they are doing in theory, but I believe the young ones are looking for mates before spring time is why they gather in flocks of hundreds or more, IMO. http://crows.net/roosts.html

That was a good article and answers some questions.

THANKS

When they was in my trees overnight last year for a couple of nights, I looked up in there when they left late morning to afternoon, and it was a mess with poopy up in there on the branches and all over the ground. Lots of poopy from that many birds. I also heard they shouldn't be bothered while they do that, but they finally leave after awhile. Might take a few days though, but the rains eventually clean the tree and ground of poopy after awhile.
