darn, need help with birds,

alright, so today i woked up around 10 in the morning and put my plants under the sun and get back to sleep,

when i woke up like just a about an hour, when i visited my plants and my plants especially my newly seeded plant have only one leaf, the orange pot one has also some leaves missing.

but that is shit, i think birds plucked them out, but i'm thinking of why should the birds mind my plant when there's a large tree and other plants here.

really shitty, of all the plants that these stupid birds want to do their leaf tripping shit why did they chose my plants, they can trip out my momma's orchid. or the fruit bearing tree from our neighbor.


anyways, is there any bird repellant for plants?

yes there is a bird repellent. just buy an eagle and train it. hehe sorry for spamming. That's why we keep our babies inside, nice and safe from the nasty world bud.

an air rifle is the best repellent

i asked the people here and they said that it wan't them, the orange pot lost 4 sets of 5finger leaves. darn, and the newly sprout lost all but one is hanging around.

i don't know what to do, their lives are in danger.

right now, i am just thinking of sprouting another seed. and go back to step one.

put a cage around them.. build a frame box put netting over it. honestly there are a million things u could do. scarecrows have been used for years make a scarecrow? like said there is loads u can do google is ya best friend m8 but defo id build a cage.

no point going back to step one if when u get to step 3 - 5 birds are going to be at them again

maybe a cheap pellet gun will let the birds fly away and land on to other plants. but no extra cash to buy those, i'd rather save my cash for somethin more important. hehe.

i'll look stupid if i'll be checking them up every now and then, but i'll be more stupid if i will be guarding and looking at them for 24/7.

my mother has 20+ more orchids and i have 2 plants only, one in the orange pot, the green pot, and the transparent pot.

(the transparent pot plant is like dying so i did not count that anymore). of all the plants here, why.

Try putting a thin stick in the pot or very close to it with a plastic bag attached to the top. This worked for me last year. Makes noise when the wind blows it and the birds are shit scared to come near.
Or even hang a cd on something near it. As it spins the birds get scared. Had this done at my parents place to stop birds pooing all over the backyard concret. It also worked.

Thats 2 easy options you can try.

put some water with a tea spoon of sugar in and place it by the plants slugs and birds will go to the water not the plants or shoot the bastard with an 22 air gun

i have a screen here, i haven't put it in a while, thought of the screen lessens the amount of sunlight that they receive.

i'll try that water sugar thing, the bird might die if i'll be buying some air gun and shoot them, and i don't want that to happen.

i don't have a photo pic of the bird,(my cam phone is not that good for capturing long range subjects so kindly check this out).

so small.

yeah its a sparrow there all over the place in the uk haha but yeah sugar water or some bird food should stop them

Try using a plastic owl nearby.

Some cities place them on buildings to help keep smaller
birds away.

green antifreeze in a pale. they will take a bath in that, and dye, also kills dogs and cats, great for going to the wrong place after you dye lol, good luck

and besides i don't have cash to buy some gun thing, i'd rather buy beer, food, a sack of soil, perlite, lime, compost, coco coir, and maybe good mj buds oh and also an hps or an mh or just save for the future. ( until now i haven't bought lime, still lookin for).


stressed darn.

hehehehe!!

ok so this is the device i made long ago but havent used them in a while, but are very effective.
sheet of a4 plastic film or stiff plastic sheet.
cut a big circle out, cut a line to the centre then make a spacing for the stalk.
then i used some old welding rods and just spear it through like a tailors pin, but you can use any wire really, coat hanger or whatever.
heres what it looks like: works like a medical dog collar.
