Probably not federal but likely against most city laws. Crows
frequent my backyard and they are loud and obnoxious. But, since
they don't mess with my plants, I tolerate 'em. Cats, though, do
cause me problems when they use my freshly planted garden areas
as their "bathroom" facilities. It's probably illegal too, but
I keep a BB gun handy to run them off...not powerful enough to
hurt them but it does get their attention. It usually only
takes a couple of "pings" in the butt for 'em to catch on and
seems to discourage 'em from returning. I don't know if it would
work for crows though...crows can be pretty cheeky.
