I have just bought a new car, 1 week old. Now the crows are using it as a playground and have scratched it to bits. How can i stop it?

Park your brand new car in your garage!

Harassment is probably the best policy. Chase those crows any time you see them around your cars. They will probably keep coming back, and they will probably learn to hate you on sight. Still, it might keep them off. You might also try adding some novelty to the vehicle or where you park them. Crows do not like new things in an area where humans hang out. Small, but obvious changes in the area or on the vehicles might be enough to get them worried. A tassle hanging from the radio antenna might be enough of something new to keep them away for a while. If none of this works, try getting a car cover like people with expensive antique cars use.

LOL we had birds sitting on the car window, and pecking at the mirror thinking it was another bird.
We keep our cars waxed very well. They slide off of it. Pretty funny to watch too, because they can not get a grip anywhere.
Oh and you bird lovers, this doesn't not harm them.
If you don't have a garage, then use a car cover.

Cheapest solution, is to invest in a car cover, just make sure you use it.
Also have you used t-cut to try and remove the scratches as if you get it soon enough, you should be able to remove the damage already caused

Rent a cat........and tie it to the car. Or put up a bird of prey decoy....maybe call the local animal shelter, Audubon Society or SPCA for advice.

Birds are nice. Get rid of the car!

Try a strip or two of tinfoil attached to the aerial. That, fluttering around, might do the trick.

get a car cover. also if you come out and the birds have shat on the paintwork, clean it off ASAP as its highly acidic and will damage the bodywork

wire the car to a 220 line and activate it when just sitting in your drive.
