Every morning I put out dog food in a bowl for my dog, but I don't think he is getting a chance to eat it all

Question

That's because I've seen crows and other big birds flying around it. What can I do to get rid of these birds, so that I'm not spending extra money paying for food for my dog as well as these unwated visitors? Please help me out!

He is a full-grown Lab, but he doesn't really eat a lot. When no birds are eating his food, he sometimes won't even eat a whole bowl in one day. He is definetely a grazer though, he eats very little at a time, off and on all day.

Answer 1

Feed your puppy on the porch or inside the garage. This will deter birds. Is he a one time feeder a day, or does he graze? If you only feed him once/twice a day, he will be hungrier and therefore eat all his food in one go, leaving none for the evil crows. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

"Molik
The Molik is a creature that hides away in the wheat fields. It is a hideous thing that scares birds off, and little children (who are not allowed to walk through the fields) on which it feeds itself. The Molik is made of sheaves, and sometimes wears human clothing.
For a long time, it was thought the Molik was a legend to keep the kids from the fields, but it is discovered the Molik was in fact the husband of Gräins, Goddess of Fertility. Myths have it that Gräins left Molik because he had eaten her children. The same myth has it that Gräins killed her husband, but that he returned every year, as potent as ever, and married her again.
It is not unthinkable that in some isolated agricultural communities the people still believe in the god Molik and worship him in secrecy.
