Poles with Crow nests - how to cope with these/them?

[Dutch Legionair]

Shooting the crows won't be enough, I assume.
So how do I distroy these despicable nest seekers?

Burn the nests? It should be obvious by now. Deacon literally spams "It's a nest" 15 times when near these things.

Your best bet is flaming crossbow bolts. Molotovs work, too, but it's harder to find bottles.

Agreed, but not due to not being able to find beer bottles.
When you get close enough to molotov the nests, you're close enough to make the criers worried, so they dive bomb you. It only takes a few of those hits and you'll die.
Incendiary crossbow bolts have a longer range than hand thrown bottles. You can burn their nests without them bombing you.

Yup, I agree. I thought it was pretty obvious too. They're nests, you burn nests.
Legionaire is an old man though, and as he's said, not very good at puzzles
At least he claims to be an old man. He is, however, younger than me

It seemed to be hard to find the right corner while attacking/burning those nests. That was the cause of my problem.

Solved :-)

IIRC, the first time I got to that bit, I either didn't have fire crossbow bolts or forgot I had them. So I had to molotov them all. I died a lot.

Fair point. He may not have incendiary bolts, in which case molotovs it is.
Yeah, I died a lot the first time I wanted to molotov some nests.
There is a trick you can try. Just before they hit you, they caw. As soon as you hear the 'caw', roll away. And if you've got really good reactions, you might be able to take it out with a melee weapon, or a shot gun. But beware, they can get like the kamikaze bombers, a stream of them will hit you one after another. You will die

A lot of thought behind this

I always hated those infected crows. You can thin them out while doing some target practice.

Then burn them to hell!
