You could consider trying is something that would scare the birds off.
Some people use old CDs or DVDs since they're cheap, shiny, and large
enough to spook birds by reflecting light. Hang them on strings and
suspend them from stakes. Some people scare off birds with plastic
owls or snakes placed in the garden.
This may work for up to 2 weeks before the birds get wise.


Another option is to purchase bird netting and tent it over the rows.
Stretch in place just far enough away from the plants that the birds'
bills can't get through the mesh at the blossoms.
