The hooded crow is allowed to be hunted according to Italian law. This bird is characterized by a very high reproductive potential and is considered a pest species. In this paper we present the results of a control program of hooded crow (Corvus corone cornix L.) undertaken in Rieti province (central Italy) in 2005-10. The Hooded crow is considered as a pest species by hunters due to its wide distribution and abundance, and to the impact on small game species. The program was organized by Local Hunting management Authorities (ATC), in compliance with Italian rules. These plans are intended to reduce the hooded crow population to reduce predation on eggs and/or small game, particularly Lepus europaeus, Perdix perdix and Phasianus colchicus.
