Question
Hi!
 A family of crows seems to have chosen to live in the pecan trees on our home's small lot. While I have to say I admire them for their intelligence and family socialization, they are often quite loud ( especially in the mornings and my husband  and I both work very late ).

 I think they are enjoying the pecans from the trees, but are becoming a bit annoying. I would never hurt them, but I would like to know if  there is a way to get them to move on somewhere else...

 Thanks so much!

Answer
You don't say how long they have been there or whether this has happened before. It could just be a short-lived phenonmenon- it usually is. The pecans are attracting them, apparently, and when the pecans are gone so will the crows be. Meanwhile, earplugs would be a lot less trouble than trying to scare the crows away.
