Question: How to stop quail from digging up flower beds?
Nov 1, 2008
Does anyone have an eco-friendly tip(s) to prevent quail from digging up a garden? I do not wish to hurt the birds, or any other birds that come to eat the feed I put out. Just to protect the bulbs and other plants I have planted.
 
They not only enjoy the new tender shoots from the bulbs, but from other flowering plants as well as the come up from the ground.
 
I have seen different types of netting to protect the plants from birds, ( though worried the little birds may get caught up in it ), so looking for any other tips anyone may have as well.
 
Thank you in advance!
