Birds, for all their many positives, can be a nuisance when they decide to eat newly sown seeds or nibble on seedlings. They are only after an easy, convenient food source, but it is a pain. Thankfully, there are some easy ways to stop birds from eating seeds and seedlings.
As a gardener who has seen seeds disappear and lost brassica seedlings to hungry birds before, I know the frustration. But I have also found simple ways to prevent it from happening again. Planting seeds deeply, covering seeds and seedlings, and using deterrents are proven ways to prevent pigeons, sparrows, blackbirds, finches, and more from targeting your new plants.
