I usually leave them alone, as long as they're eating the weeds... Birds gotta eat too...

Very similar but they are variable. Two photos below were taken within 3 days of each other. Decimated all four pots of kale and several pepper plants. The birds aren't doing their jobs. I took over.

Always looking for interesting plants for pollinators and food! Bonus points for highly, and pleasantly scented plants.
