I feel like we’re brushing past the salient point here - why are the crows doing this?!
At a guess, because crows are smart, resourceful little chaos goblins, with basically no fear, especially in groups. Maybe they like the noise the breaking glass makes, or maybe they're just curious to see what will happen. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that they've made a game of it, to see which of them can hit nearest the centre, or from highest up. I'm actually surprised that a single falcon manages to scare them off, after seeing what they do to buzzards round here. Even if the buzzard is minding it's own business, multiple crows will attack it in flight, dive it bombing and harrying it until it has left the area.
Is it possible the light bounces off the panels in a way that annoys them too?
All of the above!
They also like shiny things so it wouldn't surprise me if it's just due to that.
Just like my ex husband
They're farming the raid boss
Leverage.
They are big oil drones, birds are not real.
Have you seen one IRL? They're really not that but at all. Could fit in a backpack —if you have a wish to lose your soul to oblivion, but yeah. Pretty awesome, actually. 🥰
Please film yourself putting a live wild crow into your backpack. Conscious, please
Even further, why scapegoat the crows at all?
The local avian population no doubt bombs enough bad paint to cause issues when it anneals to the panels in the focused sunlight. Secondly, that one falcon is quite likely taking whatever it can find on the wing each sortie. Even ground critters. So...
Again. Why? 🤌🏼
..what?
Must be your translator. Anyhow, gotta gallop! 🦄
Merry focused ambling to you and your pack.
Crows are based.
