  • I am controlling hooded crows on a hill farm to help protect sheep and lambs during lambing time in the spring. Hooded crows will pray on young lambs or even fully grown sheep who can get stuck on their backs when heavily pregnant unable to protect themselves. The crows will generally go for the soft tissue areas like the eyes tongue and anus and i have seen the damage they can do myself, this wont kill the sheep right away but will leave it weak and injured with a long suffering death unless found by the farmer.
    Magpies and crows will also take any eggs or fledglings of ground nesting birds that they find.

    Magpies and crows despise weak individuals, and will taunt and attack them if they lie down, often seriously gang up on them. It has helped me several times in taking multiple in one sitting.

    • @NitroHV
      @NitroHV  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Rooks and jackdaws seem to rarely land beside other dead corvids but crows and magpies will go as far to attack other dead birds for some reason.

      It is a bit of a step up from the rim fire but you can load your own with the 17 Hornet which does help with accuracy.
