Default The birds are eating my orange tomatoes!

I put in a couple of plants of orange tomatoes this year and, like the
Sweet 100's, Better Boys, and Early Girls, this has been a banner year
in northern Virginia USA. I am getting record yields for all tomato
varieties.

The problem is the orange tomatoes (I lost the seed packet but I seem
to remember that they are Jubilee's). The top-most fruit are pecked
full of holes. I believe that birds are doing it but I haven't seen
them in the act. They aren't attacking the fruits lower down on the
vine and they don't bother the other varieties at all. Has anyone ever
heard of this before? Maybe I need a scarecrow.

Mike
