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!!!

Go to WalMart or a garden center and get a plastic owl. That should keep your bird away. You might try putting up a bird feeder close to where the bird is digging. Buy the dry mealworms or feed other than the stanard bird seed. Or even sprinkle the mealwors where he is digging.

Good Luck!
