Im paranoid it will drop out so i applied epoxy resin to it so everything is solid. Check yours is still in place unless you have a snorkel fitted.

I must add, that when it dropped out it was sucking dust and debris through the open hole and the K&N filter is really really dirty on that particular side. Since the filter had only been fitted six months ago its obvious there is a obvious quirk...

Last week, when a friend was servicing my 2012 FL2, i noticed seeing daylight at bottom of airbox. I dont remember seeing the hole when i fitted a K&N panel filter six months ago so i know it must have been in place then atleast. I bought a...

One firearm i own (i own a lot) is a 22lr which has a sound moderator (silencer) and is deathly quiet when used with subsonic ammunition. A fart is louder. This is my go to rabbit rifle but i have used it on crows on farmland with plenty of...

I think this is the kind of setup is required...

Thats similar to what a neighbour has done. He used plastic stuff which you'd usually use to prevent leaves getting in guttering and has them on his and wife's cars. Another neighbour told me yesterday, crows are trying to remove the seals in...

A follow up. Yesterday evening, i nipped outside to my van to get something and as i walked past my car, i noticed the cardboard was gone and the feathery marks on glass/pecking marks on rubber seals. Running out of options, so i wrapped the...

Seems a tad extreme for removing crows. 🤔

You need to practice. Don't blow it like your playing a trumpet. Almost growl into the caller. I've stood in my garden and called crows in.

I've got a Primos crow caller which is 100% effective. I used to call crows in from a wood on a farm i used to shoot to get them in range. 34gms of no5 shot ended them.

In all seriousness, I’ve found that eggs work well near to decoys too.

I already have a stack of crow decoys. When i used shoot them, i used to put egg shells and kitchen waste amongst them to lure them in. Always wanted to try mirrors but sadly that would be illegal. The cardboard i had on rear window must have...

I know everyone (there is only eight houses on my road) will be suffering with damage to some degree but i guess some people just accept it.

I have considered a larsen trap but for it to be effective, it would need to be at front of house and i know someone would release the bird. i bought another wiper blade earlier from Halfrauds so will see how long it lasts.

I would hazzard a guess and say they do far more damage than crows. I know in certain parts of London, Paraquets are the hooligan bird due to their numbers.

Over here, its these that do all the damage... Kea, they are the most amazing animal. Not the most beautiful, but they are awesome and the world's only alpine Parrot.

This was 2 minutes ago. Such a temptation.

They're smart birds.🐦

This is probably the best safest option. 👍 I forgot to say, another neighbour told me yesterday, the crows have disconnected his tv ariel twice which results in paying someone to get up on roof to reconnect it. A third neighbour has had to wrap...

They're nesting in a sycamore tree about 60 yards away and then sit on a neighbours opposite my house. I thought they might be attracted to the chrome bit on my tailgate but my neighbours Nissan dont have anything shiny and they're suffering as well.

Crows, magpies, Jays, rooks etc are still on the general licence (which defra issue every year) so can be legally culled but only if dining on a field of cereal crop etc. The plastic hawk idea wouldn't ever work. I've personally watched crows...

Last week, a murder of crows started to attack my Freelander 2 on the drive. The week started off ok with my car passing its mot with no advisories......then the corvids started their hate campaign against me. I cant shoot them because i think...
