Outdoor birds eating my plants !!!

[jamestiger]

im putting my plants in and out each day and today i went out to see a black bird sat on a pot eating my plants , 1 was completley pulled out of the soil and totaly chewed to nothing and 4 others were pecked to pieces but still in their pots , they are just 11 days old so still very small ,i didnt know birds eat cannabis ? how can i stop these winged invaders ?

 

[bad dragon bzzz]

could stand beside the pots with arms out stretched,like a scarecrow ?
or a little netting perhaps.

That's news to me also.If they continue you can get a nylon netting at a garden store thay is used to keep birds off of apple trees.Just put a few sticks around the plants a cover them with the net.

Shoot them with an air rifle once you have shoot 2 or 3 they wont come back for a while and it good sport :thumbs:

Use a garden network ( the plastic one with little square frame) and put it around the pot

Hi James...I put plastic snakes in my bird area to scare off a gopher...it doesn't bother the birds at all.

What does work is hanging CD's , shinny ribbon ...things like that keep our birds away from our garden side.
