The only way I have seen that a bird harm tomatos is when a bug gets on it then the bird will peck at it trying to eat it and that causes a puncture!

Some birds are actually good for tomato plants by eating those disgusting green tomato worms.

Dont think birds are the problem, but rabbits and gophers are. Try putting human hair in a mesh bag..that helps. You can go into your local salon and ask for the hair they are sweeping up. The salon I go to told me that people ask for the hair all the time for the same reason!! Their gardens.

I like chicken parmesan and there is tomato sauce in it so yes, chickens are a threat to tomatos

Grackles get my big tomatoes once in awhile but not the cherry ones. One of my dogs usually barks at it.
