First off, is this a REAL possiblity/problem or just some old wives tale
he's blown out of proportion.

It is true that birds will sometimes use a tomato as a source of water--this
can occur in dry times when natural water is scarce and the extent of the bird
population may play a part. it is by no means a normal happening and does not
often occur. but it is a possibility. A bird bath would be a good idea as for
the rest i would not bother unless actual bird attacks do occur..This can vary
widely from area to area so your local situation may differ from other parts of
your state or the nation.
