Hi there, has anyone heard of keeping small insectivorous birds like swallows for pest control in a large caged veggie patch avery combo? I can't find any information on it anywhere. I have my veggie patch caged to keep the birds, possums and wallabies off my crops (without the cage we would get nothing) but I have inadvertently created a caterpillar, grasshopper and thrip haven. So I'm thinking of adding feed and water stations, nesting boxes and perches and keeping some small birds to eat the bugs and I'm trying to research it but I can't find any information on it.
Any tips or suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance!
