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 with air harmonics under the vehicle which...

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 rubber non return valve from Muddy Mods for £17...

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 space. Despite being a smallbore calibre you do still...

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 his Velux window.

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 wiper in a white plastic shopping bag and another...

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.

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 blew off in the wind last night as it was gone when...

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.

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 his wiper blades in mesh to prevent them getting...
