How Can I Get Rid of Ravens?

Ravens are beautiful birds to look at, but destructive and an annoyance to have around. There are several ways to get rid of them. First, be sure to remove any food or water sources that the birds may be attracted to such as bowls of dog or cat food, bird feeders and bird baths. Making loud noises can scare them out of the general area. Banging metal trash can lids together, ringing a dinner bell, or shooting off a gun into the sky will make them scatter. Another trick is placing a traditional scare crow in your yard, and laying rubber snakes on your patio or decking.
