I think your referring to Stanley"s Crow Repellant. Mixture of tar and creosote or something like that. Looks like what drained out of a neglected tractor transmission. Smells worse. Works on the crows, but pretty sure it"s illegal now.

An older fellow told me to use turpentine. I put my seed in a zip lock bag, poured in a little turpentine, shook it around and planted it. I have not had a bird problem the last two years I've done this. Coincidence or good idea I'm not sure but I do believe he knew what he was talking about. May change my mind after this year but I'm sure going to try it again.

turpentine works fine. just mix on seed (a little will do) the crows may get 1 or 2 hills but that will be all
