Re: CULT:seed-starting

I know that bird well!  It's the California Curved-beak Thrasher.  Birds are the worst enemies that my irises have.  The thrashers dig up the seeds and seedlings.  Mockingbirds, towhees and cactus wrens make salad out of the flowers.  For me bird nets are a necessity.

  Hello List,
      Too bad about your seedlings Randy I know how maddening that can be. We
  were have problems with some type of bird digging through our seeds and
  pulling up our sprouted seedlings. We  replanted the ones that were pulled
  up and shed a tear over the ones that were torn in half. We were shopping
  and found some metallic party/Christmas tree decorations that come in 15
  foot rolls and strung them around the tops of the pots and that seems to of
  cured the problem.
