Yes, bird take out all small seedlings all the time and they are POS! it does not help the building next to me has a few nests in their roof and does not get rid of them. growdiaries.com/diaries/64234-humboldt-seeds-uk-cheese-auto-grow-journal-by-m0use/week/311288 Bamboo skewers work great as well as any wire gate/bowel you make have. once they go tall they tend to stop bothering them in my experience. Best Of Luck!

Starlings will destroy my garden in spring the same way. Clipping parts for nesting.

@cannabisMalta Birds that come near the plants are probably trying to get at an insect or bug I would be more concerned by grasshoppers , snails , slugs etc etc attacking a young seedling. you can use Diatomaceous Earth as a deterrent that won't hurt any other Animals or Pets

Yes. *sighs* well not birds but ive had bugs, cats and even myself all top plants way too early by mistake or bad luck. And they recover just fine IF you put a cage around it and stop further damage. Its that simple- if you can stop more damage she will do fine...if she gets more damage while small then no, the next time will stunt her badly. Also while she recovers be extra careful not to over water as she wont be using much water for a while now ok. Some seaweed extract like liquid Seasol mixed in to her water for a few weeks would help too but its not vital. Just give her time to divert energy to growing new shoots and you will be glad you let her.

They have topped it to early for you 🤣🤣 jokes aside I'm not sure if it will make a full recovery due to being so small. Saying that give it a week or two and she how its responding
