you can make a “tent” of bird netting to put over the plants them so they can’t get to them. I’ve also used aluminum pie tins to scare them away. You take one of these disposable pie tins, punch a small hole in the rim. tie a string to it about 2.5 feet long, stick a stake in the ground and staple and knot the string and the pie tin to the stake. When the wind blows, the noise and movement has a tendicy to scare them.

The easiest way is to buy some white clear plastic from garden center,and cover your tomatos,so the sun can still ripen them,but birds can’t get at them.Another good way is to get a supermarket plastic shopping bag the sort you get your goods in,and cover each plant.Just make a hole for the stake,and cover and secure at bottom.
cover them in clearest plastic possible
pick them turning white to pink, ripen in the window with fullest sun, but they will ripen slower anywhere, even the fridge if you pick before the first freeze, and can have tomatoes for an extra month
pot them in 1-5 gallon pots and move them to a safe place
scare crows can help, and noise makers
you got them trained to eat so they will be looking for more

I take the pecked-at tomatoes and put them around the area of the tomato plants, so the birds see those tomatoes first. They tend to leave the ones still on the plant alone if there are nice bright red ones on the ground around the plants. My second strategy is to pick the tomatoes just as they begin to ripen and let them finish inside the house.

I have bird problem with mine too. I’ve been using plastic bird netting from Home Depot on my garden very successfully – be sure not to pull too tightly or you will pop off new blossoms. Next year I’ll work out a frame of some sort.
