It wouldn't stop the crows where I work. They patrol the skies like the RAF during a zeppelin raid. Not only do they chase off bigger birds, like eagles and buzzards, but they go after most anything that moves (except humans... for now). To top it off, they systematically test the windows of our building every two weeks or so. They'll fly up to peck or pound on one window, then work clockwise around the building.
Scary smart birds.

When the first Blue Jay arrived, it called dozens more and the peanuts on the table were exhausted in a matter of minutes. After this, they sat on the railing of the deck and watched the squirrels use the peanut dispenser. After a minute or two of observation, one jumped down and mimicked the squirrel clumsily and was then able to get another peanut. The ones in the dispenser didn't last long after that...
