Birds Attack

Help! How do I stop birds from tearing apart my pots! They have uprooted several of my plants.

scarecrow? They are likely trying to use the moss as a nesting material I would guess.

You can make a simple one by getting an old shirt and pants and filling it with anything you have sitting around. Use a ball or whatever for a head and pop a hat on it and sit it in a chair. They likely won't come near it

My wife saw the little ******* in action today, and it’s a robin. I set a fake owl out, and some streamers. Tonight I saw it just hop right by everything. Perhaps I will have to try the scarecrow.

What are your thoughts on Garlic water used as a repellent? Do you think this would be harmful to CPs?

I've heard that hanging old CDs by a string will keep birds away . . .
Worth a try if you have some old CDs laying around.

I used shish kabob sticks around the pots, and no issues today.
