Default Sparrows Devouring Lettuce Plants!

maybe they are doing what geese do... weeding?

I haven't had small birds do any damage to my garden but I've lost count how
many times I've been woken up at the crack of dawn by ravens ripping the
lettuce plants right out. They're not eating them... just ripping them out
and dropping them. And only lettuce. I've never been able to figure it
out. You could try covering the young plants in plastic to make a mini
greenhouse until they are too big for the little birds to damage.
