There's a crow keeps pecking at next door's window while there's no one home.
It sounds pretty loud from where I am, like the glass is about to break.
Is that possible ?

Are you okay?

Did you not sleep much last night?

Watch Hitchcock's "The birds".

Sorry. I am just trying to educate you gutter dwelling peasants.

Well don't. I don't want to know anything past the faecal matter I sit in. 😉

Crow, unlikely. Baby Robin, yup.

A crow can easily break a pane of glass - they are exceptionally strong. The pecking 3 or 4 times 'woodpecker style' at something (usually the branch they are standing on) and making a loud noise is very typical of crows, they usually do it as a sign of frustration - magpies also do it. Although I've never known them to do it to windows (I've known them to eat the putty out of windows though) I suspect that the crow won't break the pane of glass though, as it can make sufficient noise without needing to use that level of force. Of course it's possible that the crow is merely tapping at its own reflection - but the pecking 'woodpecker style' to make a loud noise is very common.

That's what I like to see. Someone who knows their place 😀

Used to break windows with Midget Gems* as a kid, so no reason a crow couldn't do it.

I didn't spot the 'r' in the third word and was very confused for a moment.

We had a pigeon fly through one of our windows a few years ago so there's no reason that crow couldn't break some old pre-float glass panes.

Our “car park crow” at work is extremely territorial, as all the local rabbits and squirrels have found to their cost. It went through a phase of attacking its own reflection in the mirrored glass of our office door. The attacks would be extremely violent resulting in blood, snot and feathers smeared all over the window and would continue until the poor thing had beaten itself senseless. If you chased it off it would just come back and carry on later.

Would that be a standing peck or a flying peck?

throw a brick at the crow, Two birds with one brick an all that. 😉
But why do you want your nieghbors window broken? Weeing in shoes usually suffices (or owning with Bombers if it's more serious)
