you need a big cat. or netting. they use netting in vineyards to keep the birds off the grapes.

yeah man and to avoid attention get ur self a 5.5 pellet rifle, tthe birds will soon learn that the area is dangerous for them

moth balls is scent based so no it wont affect your trees. the scent will keep animals and birds away from your plants it will work better if you hang em by a string. and yes you can buy em in clothing stores.
