Mr last round, I've killed 3 crows in my yard with an airrifle.. it took over 6 years to do. I used to work from home with a yard full of pecan trees..Crows are very smart and have very good vision.. Any movement from you what so ever they will see you and fly.. even trying to open a window or crack a door... trust me they will not sit on a limb or ground and be shot..yes you can put out food for them but they will be extremely cautious and most likely grab the food and fly to somewhere where they feel safe to feed.. you will be better off shooting squirrels.. sorry to be a such a downer on your potential fun... but it's the truth... best of luck with what you decide..
