“The animals are chopping up windows”: Hörbach has a crow problem. “So far the whole thing is not a plague, but it is clear: they were driven out of Puchheim and Gröbenzell, now they are with us,” says mayor Rainer Spicker.

Citizens have also put tinsel on windows to keep the crows away. The rook is protected and cannot be hunted. For the carrion crow, however, there are specific hunting seasons.
