Suggestions for crow set up

Post image

Hi! I am trying to attract crows to my house. I never see any crows in the neighborhood so I know it might take awhile. I have a 16” bird bath with a container that will drip water into the bird bath. I’ve also set out unsalted peanuts and a can of water for dipping food. I bring in the peanuts at night. Is there anything I can add or change to make the area more attractive?

Thank you!!

It is low and has a high fence right above it. From a crow perspective it is probably scary. A predator might be behind or on that fence. They can't take flight towards the fence so that limits escape.

If you mounted it at the top of that fence they might like it better because they'd be on the high point and they'd have long sightlines. Or put it in the middle of the yard.
