All wild birds are protected, unless they are causing damage to crops, livestock and fauna or represent a threat to public health or to air safety.
Since robbing bird food from the little birdies does not fit into this category I'm afraid you can't kill them.
Saying that I understand exactly where you are coming from, they are noisey beggers. I would suggest you hide your bird feeders in the trees or bushes (if you have any) I have loads of feeders in the bushes in my garden and only the little fellas can get at them.

By the way did you ever look at the David attenborough video on youtube on how intellegent crows are http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGPGknpq3e0 so I don't think they will be fooled easily.
