Plants and berries are fantastic for both gardeners and bird enthusiasts. If you are a gardener, there is nothing better then fresh fruit from your garden. And if you are a bird enthusiast, it is a great way to attract birds to your garden naturally.
Here is a list of bird species I suggest repelling and deterring:
Blackbirds
Pigeons
Pheasants
Grackles
Cowbirds
Crows
Bluejays

These types of birds can destroy your garden and resources nearby. They eat tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, corn, seeds, and sunflowers.
Cover crops with bird netting
