Birds to keep out of your garden According to Rutgers Cooperative Extension, blackbirds can be nuisances to gardens. Crows also may frequent your garden and eat fruits and vegetables.

Correspondingly, how do I protect my tomatoes from birds?Some gardeners suggest keeping birds away from tomatoes by creating a web of fishing line or reflective tape over and around the plants. You can also use flashing Christmas lights or hang shiny Christmas ornaments on the plants to scare birds away.Secondly, will birds eat my vegetable garden? Birds can help keep several pests out of your garden by dining on snails, slugs and insects. However, some birds will eat your corn, destroy your strawberries by pecking them for the seeds, steal your blackberries and sunflower seeds, or even eat some of our vegetables. Beside this, how do I stop birds pulling my plants? Move around scare devices, such as predator decoys, sound recordings and scary balloons, every other day, so that they stay effective and birds don’t grow accustomed to them. Install bird netting or place inverted baskets or crates over your plants while you’re using scare devices to keep away nuisance birds.Can I feed birds tomatoes?“Tomatoes are an acidic fruit,” said Larry Nemetz, DVM, of the Bird Clinic in Orange County, California. He does not recommend, at any time, feeding birds raw tomatoes (including cherry tomatoes) because of their acidity. Items such as dried tomatoes and spaghetti sauce are fine.
