I've been dealing with a crow that's been wreaking havoc on my balcony plants for a couple of weeks. It started with some bite marks on my aloe, but now it's gone full force and is ripping out my baby anthuriums. It's driving me insane! Has anyone found success with chili sprays or other methods to keep these pesky birds away?

Try this clever trick: grab some flat, round stones and paint them to look like strawberries. Scatter them around your plants and let them dry. The crow will get bored pecking at them, thinking they’re food, and will eventually move on. It worked for me!
I’ve heard that crows are actually immune to chili! They're probably digging around for grubs or something tasty. You might want to try sticking some wooden skewers in the soil as spikes—that’ll dissuade them from getting too close.
Love this answer!
