While shopping at Seaway Sales this AM I noticed a box of hand-pump air horns suitable for annoying people at parties, but also according to store clerks very effective at moving crows.
I was told they use the plastic horn to effectively shoo the crows away and it works....
While a three dollar solution isn't what we in government are all about, I would recommend trying one of these first to see if it is effective in your case. There is no program to buy one for you, but I know lawmakers who would propose the legislation.
It's less expensive than propane cannons, which would be my next step if the crows were bugging me.

What about the noise ordinance? (You just can't win for losing can you?) Lol
I would expect that you will post any govt link to apply for cost mitigation in the purchase of these items..I for one find myself featherily impacted,cawfully anxious from the noise,and birdturdeouseally affected by these flying menaces..I look forward to having the govt solve this matter asap..
Hows the Windows coming?
Like ythis idea- I can get one & drive the crows back to the City from Rutland!
Ha! now that's funny. I thought of that when I saw it. People out in the countryside driving them back. Take them back you shits! Make sure you yell that.
Watching Watertown's Crow Conundrum is nearly as entertaining as following Cape Vincent's Windmill Jousting.
JUST SHOOT THE CROWS!
Can't we all live in harmony? Crows are people too you know.
BWAAHAHAHA...
Just kidding, shoot 'em!
How much have we spent to get rid of this problem? And now you are telling us a $3 horn will do it. And we gave the DEC and some crow lovin' asswhip tens of thousands of dollars to drive around with high paid police officers and play rap music? Sounds like something Gene Hayes would have come up with.
Really, why does none of our highly intelligent city leaders think of just shooting the damn things? Crows are very smart and 1 or 2 sessions with the boys from the trap club and your crow problem is history.
Those critters are pretty big for birds,how about as endorsed above a trap shoot,then sell them in a crow pie?It could be an annual event and raise money for the children.. couldn't be worse than a KFC chicken pie..mmm tastes crowyyy..
Yup, use the $3 horns to move the stinkin' things off their city roosts and station the shooters just outside of town on their flyways. Couple of weeks of that and you will have the crows reduced to a managible population. The city spends a couple of hundred bucks for the horns and charge the hunters $10 a head to participate just like any other organized shoot. The City will make a few bucks on the deal and the crows remain at population levels everyone can live with. But of course, this would make sense, so it won't happen.
