Just In Case Bunnies Are Visiting Your Tulips!

It's happening at our house and I read about blood meal... which I bought and it is indeed keeping the bunnies from nibbling the leaves but then I read that if you apply too much it will attract crows... who like the smell. It rained last night so I was ready to sprinkle more until I heard about the crow issue. So, does anyone have any ideas about what will work in place of the blood meal??

Have no idea why crows would be interested anyway. I think that I'm going to have to do some more research! So far, so good lol!!

@Hate2Iron I guess the crows would think it was carrion that they could feed on.

Now that sounds like something I could do. I have some skewers that I could use for that purpose!! Thanks for the idea!!

Sorry did not know about either and its interesting to know that though.
We don´t have many crows around here rather Storks and lots of them.
No rabbits at all but they must have loads on the Farms around here.

@Hate2Iron
Storks raid Fields also depending on what they like to eat but they do scare really easy.

Never thought anything about them until I spotted the tulips that had suddenly sprouted. Apparently the bunnies thought that they tasted pretty good. Now storks would be interesting!!

I don't know if anything is being attracted or not, but the tulips seem to be flourishing!!

@Hate2Iron If it works for the tulip forget about the rest.

Oh my goodness, I don't, but isn't it strange that what repels the one attracts the other. I hope you figure something out @Hate2Iron

All in all, my tulips have grown about an inch... but it might be because of the heat that we are finally getting!!

All I know is that the minute that I sprinkled it... rabbits never returned.
