Bird problem

Please help. I have just put sugarcane mulch in my garden and now all the black birds are digging in and around it, throwing the mulch everywhere. My garden looks a complete mess. I tried a commercial spray to get rid of them but it did not work, does anyone have any magic potions or suggestions other than netting. I'm desperate

All our vegie beds are sugar cane mulched AND covered with Anti-bird Netting. We found this to be essential for the same reason as you are experiencing. Using the black type means that it is not visually obtrusive.

RE: Bird problem

I tried using CD's hanging and foil baking trays cut into strips, the birds got used to them so I had to put down bird netting and I have managed to stop them from digging. I will leave it in place till the seedlings etc have put on some growth then remove it. They are pests, aren't they!
