How do I stop birds from eating grass seed?

Question

I’ve put out grass seed so many times and birds keep eating it!!! How do I stop the birds from ruining my efforts??

William · Accepted Answer

I always use a net to cover the seeded area
Might be bit hard to source right now with the click and collect but its the best method in my view

Martin · Answer

The answer is in the way you've sown it. If its patches I would recommend the old way which is use string and silver trays something like Chinese trays. If you've done it with a machine then they would only get the over spill

Michael · Answer

You can’t really Because there is so many would be a very hard job

Chris · Answer

Agree with some on here your best option will be a netting to secure the area

Amy · Answer

Theres not a lot you can do about that, to be honest I would suggest keep applying more seed until it starts to take!

Ben · Answer

If you put a few big sticks in the ground and use old CD or DVD etc anything that shines they won’t go near.

Christopher · Answer

Lay a fine mesh 6" above ground, secure well to stop them getting underneath

Melvyn · Answer

You can use netting to put over the area you have seeded, plus you can use windmills to scare the birds away because of the noise.
