Don't have crows. Or blue jays for that matter. Have a couple of great horned owls that roost and nest in a big cottonwood tree in the back yard. As competitors they keep to vicinity crow and blue jay free.

The owls are pretty smart. Caught the owl and my golden retriever having a conversation. The owl was sitting on a fence post hooting. Instead of barking and chasing across the fence like she does squirrels etc, she was making sounds very similar to hooting. They hooted back and forth several times then the dog went to sniffing the yard and the owl flew back up into the tree. Since then the dog hasn't been chasing rodents or snakes in the back yard like she did before. Saw a rabbit the other day in the middle of the yard. Let the dog and she just ran by ignoring it to go sniff another part of the yard. The rabbit bounded across the yard and dove under the fence.
