My problem is Stellar Jays, who have eaten the petals off most of my

point

Sometimes full-sized models of birds of prey carefully placed can keep
some birds away, particularly if you change their position from time to
time.

Also, if you are pestered by one species of bird, intermittently playing
a recording of its alarm call (maybe combined with a model of a raptor)
can often disturb them enough to make them seek easier pickings elsewhere.
