There were crows in the early morning on my roof and it was really annoying. I searched and found this website that has a cd called crowbegone. I purchased the cd and played it at my house and it works. All the crows went away. All you do is let the cd play all the way through. I followed the directions on the website. You can play it on a cheapie boombox and put the speakers outside on your roof so that it can be heard outside your window. Here is the link to the website: http://www.geocities.com/crowbegone

Depends on where you live.
If you live in the country side, the best solution is to securely cover and clean up all trash, which attracts crows, as they are scavengers.
Many companies use chain and lock on their garbage canisters, and you can ask them for a company accessible lock so they can unlock the garbage can chain and empty the trash. They'll place the lock back on for you and next time you take out the trash, you can place the chain on the garbage canister to lock out the crows and racoons at the same time.
However, if you live in the city, there's no permanent solution, as many cities have been fighting crows for years without a real solution.
If you think of setting fireworks to scare off crows, it won't do the trick, as many states prohibit fireworks within city limits, some state prohibit fireworks fully.

If you buy a good air rifle with a telescopic sight it will do the job quietly. No expensive licence is required. The pellets are much cheaper than shotgun cartridges. The link is a good example. This rifle has a magazine so you can shoot without reloading each time. made in UK too, so support, service and spares are easily available.

If you have a lot of them then you have given them a food supply of some kind. Maybe dog food or the garbage cans? There is a dog food container that the dog must push open with his nose to get the food birds can't open it. I got one for my dog and i hardly have any birds around now.

Scarecrows work fine--as do disposable aluminum pan tied to a pole with string, ribbons, etc.
You can also purchase fake owls that work too.
Anything that has movement tends to scare them away.

Try a Wood owl and move it around from time to time. Ace Hardware has one where the head moves.

I usually just hang a dead one from a tree branch. Once they see one of thier own like that they tend to stay away
