As Vicky said, are you sure it's not rats and mice. We have never had
any eaten by birds but we have lost the whole crop to rats and mice in
a couple of days.


I do have mice in the garden. (My cat brings them in, a few per week)... I
only assumed birds, as the corn cobs were well off the ground..

If it is mice, what is the best way to keep them off the crop?


We use bait boxes around our plot and have 3 on the go always. Problem is
with a cat around any poisoned mice may poison the cat if he eats one. Traps
then but put those where the cat can't get a paw to them.
