Few days before i sowed so many seedlings and they are going well Alhamdulillah.. but yester i saw this is my shade, i dont know how the birds enter but they ruined so many of my healthy growing seedlings.
these are marigolds..

Place a wire mesh over and around your pots...I had the same problem but not now..The birds don't come now as they were discouraged the previous year.

They are good as the top leaves don't show any problem, the lower leaves look like they faced bird attacks.

Your marigolds are suffering from fungus due to cow dung.

Take out the cow dung from pot as far as possible. Cut off affected foliage.

Yes Marigold, pansies and carnations are easily attacked by fungus, I heard corn meal can help, this year i will try this

hey GURUS i solve my bird biting issues.. i appreciate your suggestions but i cant afford to buy wire meshes as i have big pots and i probable need alot of them.. i find those nets in my friends general store as they use to sell some local chips packets in those net, most probably u guys also seen it at so many shop.
i just grab them and wrap them easily around my seedling pots and i am very much hope i got the solution ..
Here are the pics ..
and plzz dont forget to correct me if i am wrong anywhere..
