Mystery Derby car vandals turn out to be territorial crows

Residents who thought vandals had been scratching cars on their street have worked out the damage was actually caused by a pair of crows.

For several weeks, cars parked in Windsor Avenue, Littleover, Derby, have had their paintwork scratched and windscreen wipers broken.Experts believe the the birds were trying to defend their territory."I was worried because I thought it was vandals," she said.image copyrightMrs Bannister, 54, said she had replaced her windscreen wipers twice in a month after the birds had "pecked at them and split them".

He added the attacks should stop at the end of the nesting season in July but could resume next year.Nick Brown, from Derbyshire Wildlife Trust, said: "Although this bird behaviour is not commonplace, it can happen and it is understandably frustrating. "Deterring them can be difficult. One way forward would be to cover the car with a rain cover or tape the windscreen wipers.

Yep, been suffering from this on the last week or so and have had to buy a cover to fully cover all windows….

Well stone the crows!

Crows are a nightmare. They’ve pecked their way though my Aircon pipe insulation on the roof. Not impressed, but I guess their nests are nice and cosy now! 🙄

I just want to say thank you to JAmSRcharD I was nobody in the pass until a friend of mine introduced me to you I never thought I could make money online but it's clearly real thanks you

Perhaps the answer is to keep a dirty car….
