They are just left there fallen on the floor and my plants are complaining, just like me! Then i planted onions and spring onions in another pot, and they leave them alone! Someone advised me to hang old CD on the plants to drive away the birds. It the CDs will roll, the more they will be frightened of the moving object.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-4057182340806382842012-04-11T02:10:15.798-07:002012-04-11T02:10:15.798-07:00Sorry your plans have changed because of the birds...Sorry your plans have changed because of the birds eating the seed.

No basil or any kind of seed could be thrown in the space because the birds would dig up the seed."<br />-----<br /><br />I had the same problem with Western Towhees one year in my vegetable garden. The little suckers somehow knew that when the Sweet Corn spikes emerged from underneath the soil as a sprout, there was still a rather large tasty sweet treat under the ground. Didn't have any corn that year.Chaparral Earthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618976919417073750noreply@blogger.com
