Answer this question, get featured on Homes & Gardens
I am writing an article on how gardeners can use easy, wildlife-friendly tactics to stop birds from eating newly sown lawn, flower, or vegetable seeds. I want to hear from experienced gardeners and have included some questions below:
Why are newly sown seeds especially attractive to birds?
What can gardeners use to cover or protect newly sown areas?
Which scare tactics can work in deterring birds?
What are the best natural or wildlife-friendly ways to protect seeds without harming birds?
