Use a aluminium mesh (jaali) to protect young plants.

Re: Sparrows
I have used the Flash Tape to scare the birds away from my grape vines. Haven't seen any bird since & the fruit is safe. May be it works for you also; do give it a try. Good luck!

Re: Sparrows
sparrows were a big problem for me a year back tried everything from rat poison to flashing discs but nothing helped.. these days i see no sparrows anywhere in my area because they have migrated somewhere else.. in short i see no solution to the problem except covering your seedlings with aluminum mesh.Mustansir Billah wrote:Sparrows have eaten my 8 well sprouted plants and What is the method to get rid of it?
you can also discourage the sparrows by avoiding throwing any leftover food in the surroundings. you will only see sparrows where there is food.

Re: Sparrows
Is it ? Why are then roasted "Chirras" served in Gujranwala ? The city is famous for this & people from other cities specially visit to relish this delicacy.Mustansir Billah wrote:They are haram otherwise I shall give it a try...THEY ATE YOUR PLANTS , YOU EAT THEM
Please re-consider.

Re: Sparrows
THIS IS A SIGN...........
that you are not visiting your plants more often ...when sparrows see that the "MALI" is often loitering around, they will stop coming. Or provide them with an alternate source of food and they will leave your plants alone.

Re: Sparrows
Sparrows are proving blessing for me these day. They are eating good number of caterpillars from lawn when i water the lawn and plants in morning. When water hits the caterpillars they leave their place and sparrows catch them.farhan137 wrote:THIS IS A SIGN...........

Provide some alternative food as said by Farhan sb. it would be beneficial.
