I set up an extra barrier along the bottom, and for a while it seemed to stop the problem, but then they showed up again. It's a simple matter to unzip one of the doors and shoo them out, but I worry about not spotting them and having birds trapped all day in the sunshine inside. So far, no dead bodies inside!

Bird Brains
I put up a new crop cage over my vegetable bed this year. It is a plastic structure with netting over it, including a closed top. At the bottom, it is tied down, but apparently not tightly enough. Repeatedly, birds have gotten inside and stuck. The birds are mostly cardinals, and because I can't imagine I have so many cardinals, it's got to be the same ones getting stuck. Apparently they are not capable of learning.
