How do you protect plants from birds who try to eat it?
you can hang or tie something very shiny like foil around the area it scares birds.. I just went to the $ .99 store and bought a couple of chimes, and hung them, the noise and movement also frighten them.


You can also go to any Walmart , Lowes etc etc. and buy a fake owl .. They're cheaper at Wal Mart.. Or like someone mentioned there is special netting and the birds can't get to the flowers. Good Luck ..
Reply:Put up some kind of barrier is best. Like netting or a decorative awning, or add spikes aroung and in the plant, they won't like that!


I have never heard of them messing with Marigolds though! Are you sure it's birds? Seen them? I know squirrels mess with most anything when they are hungry!
