Bird Attack!??

[matt44]

Which birds should I particulary look out for near my veg patch??

Or is it generally all birds?

[lottie dolly]

PIGEONS!!!!!!!,they are a big pest if you have them near your plot,they especially like brasicas,netting is used to try and keep them of ,but remember,the little creeps walk in from ground level and will fly in if enough clear space,the little birds do good,as they eat the bad bugs.pigeons have been seen,sitting on top of the netting doing there worst,so you have to make sure that any brasicas are well inside the netting.

Pigeons are big eaters, yes, but little birds pull out young seedlings. I've lost young carrots to sparrows.

Jays......

woodpigeons are a nuisance, specially this time of year when food is scarce.

blackbirds will steal strawberries, even green ones.

you want to attract insectivorous birds to eat your caterpillars and aphids ... hang some fatballs off a cane to bring in blue tits.

Magpies and wood pigeons are the two culprits on our lotties!

In our garden: pigeons, pheasants, magpies, jays, mice, blackbirds .

Vultures, if you see them your in big trouble..!!

Had a sparrowhawk on the lawn last Saturday eating a dove.
That's one way of keeping vegetables bird free.

Sparrows are a pain-they mob my runner beans and eat all the flowers if I grow at home...also the lettuces. Blackbird love strawberries and currants, On the lottie its pigeons on the brassicas.

Have never seen a flying mouse though madasafish
