Why do birds eat flower buds and how to prevent them

Not only deer, rabbit and insects can cause damage to our plants, but the feathered species such as birds too as they can also eat flowers and flower buds from certain plants. Some birds like mockingbirds, blue jays, quail, and grouse have also been known to feed on fruit tree blossoms like apple and peach trees. One solution to prevent birds from causing damage is by using stakes or wood to support the netting up over and around the plant without it actually touching the plant. Another is by hanging pie tins in fruit trees, a traditional method of preventing birds from eating flower buds.
