I bought a beautiful wintergreen plant this winter that had lovely red berries on it. There are a lot of crows around here and the crows have picked off every single berry! Any ideas for keeping crows away?

A scare crow! Ya know, in the current issue of the Nat Geographic, there is a photo of how some Mongolian herders keep wolves away from their horses and flocks. They put colorful scare crows on horseback ;).

Those spiral wind spinners might do the job.

Our nearby nesting Sharpshinned Hawks kept this neighborhood crow-free through the Summer. Those small hawks were extremely defensive against the crows.

Good Luck Dahlia, Steve
