Did the neighbors call the cops? Did the cops come to your house and
confiscate the two by fours? The right to keep and bear two by fours
is not protected by law.

Any country lad can tell you crows are really paranoid about the sound
a .22 rifle (or similar) makes. So to duplicate the sound simply get a
couple of 2 x 4's around 30" long. Hold the pair together at the
bottom and slap them together at the top rather hard. The neighbors
may be alarmed thinking they hear gunshots, but the noise is no worse
than a hefty firecracker. Do this under a crows nest in a tree and the
birds will take off for the boonies making their own racket on the
way. With a few repeats they will give up all their property rights,
usually within a day or two. Worked just fine in our neighborhood.
