Our crows don't come anymore.

For 20 yrs we have had crows nesting in a nearby Oak tree, but this year they started to build the nest, then suddenly stopped. We have a large number of magpies in the area this year, could that be why they left? If not do you have any ideas why? We also saw a red kite fly over once about a month ago. It is such a shame as we loved to watch them.

  • Well I don't think that a Red Kite flying over a month ago would scare your Crows away, Kites are not that good at catching birds unless they are sick or dead. Are your original birds still in the area ? it is not clear. Thry maybe have found a preferable nest area or maybe one has died
