We had a real problem with them last year. Early mornings, there could be upwards of 20 in the yard at one time, eating the cattle feed. Took somewhere around 40 of them last year, and up until recently this year, they'd been giving our yard a wide berth, but over the last few weeks they've started pecking at the windows of the house at about 5.30 in the morning. Took the first 2 of the year earlier this week with the hmr.
