Sparrows are always looking for some good desert and in experience in petting birds is that they will never let the leaves of any plant to remain in proper shape. My young plants were also ruined by the birds but I covered it with wire mesh.

This is a tough tradescantia and multiplies well also. It is just unsightly but will recover.
