darn, need help with birds,

[icebox7420]

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.

hate the feeling of messed up plants, it's like yesterday, they where so pretty, and now just a mess, shit.

I would be more on the look out for a rabbit or neighborhood cat. I dont think I have ever saw a bird plucking at a mj plant, not like that anyways, in 40+yrs of outdoor growing.

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.

If you do the sugar thing make sure you keep a good lookout. You`ll be inviting ants and other creatures close to your pot and sooner or later the pot will look interesting.

so putting a net again will be the best option. darn.

Throw a bunch of rice on the ground around them the birds should eat that instead and explode.

i asked the people here including my sister (she's here for a vacation) they don't know anything at all.

me too i don't believe that birds are tripping my plants by plucking it.

why don't they pluck something else, like our neighborhood's tree, or my mother's orchid.

get a pit bull...that will keep away them pesky birds, cats, rabbits, thieves, etc....

 

[arron5377]

make a guy forks. old cloths and newspaper will make a gd scarecrow. no huntting for toy owls then. or go garden centre get one of them things with a sensor so wen they come near it the (thing) will make noise. but hanging cds sounds the best to me well for u. i would have to say a 22 air rifle have some fun to

 

[icebox7420]

now, i am having worries again of letting my plants get sunlight in the morning.

 

[icebox7420]

even having a haircut won't stop my brain from thinking what did that to my precious plant, anyways maybe i should just sprout another seed. and never to put it outside again.

milk crate , the birds only mess with young plants...keep em inside for a week or two more before u put outside.

alright thanks!

anyways i wanted to ask if is it possible that a single leaf plant will still manage to grow? or i should just sprout another one again?

really shit, that newly sprouted was already at week 2.

 

[arron5377]

they will be fine just get them inside

 

[James286]

Get one of those Plastic large birds Owls, Eagles what ever, and place it near the plants, I am told it works good to keep ducks away.

 

[Corso312]

Single leaf should make it, it will probably be your largest one...seems ime when rabbits chew the hell out of plants young down to almost nothing ...that early topping helps for a massive finished plant..assuming you can stop future animals from messing with it.
