Default Bird destroying my flower beds

I have what I believe to be a Thrush digging in the beds to the point it is throwing mulch everywhere as well as exposing the roots to many plants. Thought at first it was a land animal doing the damage so I put moth balls to discourage any more visits - the moth balls haven't fazed this bird. Caught him red handed twice this morning just digging away and throwing mulch everywhere. Any suggestions how to keep him away??? I understand he is probably looking for bugs and would love to have this natural pesticide, but not if I have to sacrifice my plants. HELP!!!
