Sparrows Devouring Lettuce Plants!
Yesterday I planted some lettuce seedlings in the garden, only to find
them serving as a tempting salad for the birds. I found several Rufous-crowned Sparrows devouring my lettuce plants this morning. I had no idea the birds were herbacious! Fruits and nuts, sure. But lettuce? I've taken great pains to welcome birds into my garden, providing food, water, and shelter, but I would like to keep my vegetable garden in tact as much as possible. How can I prevent them from devouring my lettuce? I tried hanging an audio CD from a string, which was a recommended method of scaring them out of my raised beds, but it had no effect on them. Any suggestions? |
