I'm having problems with pigeons seeming to eat the blossom on my plum tree, is this a normal thing?

    Yes 😡 and the leaves on my amelanchier too 😡 and on most cherry trees around here as well 😡 

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

     The main certain approach to shielding weak plants from pigeons is to develop them under netting or in a natural product confine. ... Frightening gadgets or repellent substances are probably going to give, best case scenario, just transitory assurance.

    Yes the pigeons go for the leaves on our plums, cherries and gages. They don't go for the apples or pears.
    We have tried different methods to stop them but thankfully the leaves on the trees do get back to normal.
