When seeds hit the soil, hope for sprouts feels fragile when a flock of birds swoops in like tiny green-thumbed thieves. They seem innocent, even charming, until they turn freshly planted rows into chaotic landscapes of bare dirt. Birds peck, scratch, and dig with a persistence that can make any gardener want to throw in the trowel.
