Kremlin officials use hawks, falcons and even owls to scare off crows that spoil the building’s golden domes in the heart of Moscow. Moreover, crows hunt singing birds at the Kremlin and even damage the uniforms of the Kremlin guards. So it’s no surprise that government officials have decided to use hawks and falcons against the crows. The hawks start their work early in the morning, while there are no tourists in the Kremlin. When crows see the hawks they prefer to fly away from the Kremlin walls.
The hawks of the Kremlin Falconry scare off crows from the Kremlin building’s domes.

Even the acid in the bird’s droppings can cause damage to the Kremlin’s golden domes.
Today the hawks are valuable employees of the Kremlin.
The hawks are on duty in the sky during ceremonies at the Red Square.
During the night, an owl named Filya enters into service.
However, earlier the hawks didn’t hunt the crows. The ravens were simply shot.
But it was discovered that predators were to be much more effective.
