Destroying the nest is usually an ineffective thing to do, if they have
identified it as an ideal nesting location, they will likely try again , or
someone else will. Plus, they are likely incubating egss already. Crows are
extremely intelligent and entertaining to have around, and once the babies
hatch and fledge, they will leave the nest area for good. They should be
hatching soon and will fledge at about 30-35 days.

Subject: [NatureNS] urban crows
A neighbor of ours has a pair of crows building a nest
in a large apple tree in front of her house. She asked
me if there is any way to chase them away, so they
build their nest elsewhere.
She is frightened of crows, and as well the birds are
leaving droppings all over their vehicle and their
front yard.
All I can think of, is to destroy the nest with a
stick - hopefully the crows would get the message
they're unwelcome and move on.
Anyone have any other ideas?
Janet
