Some dumb bird got the 1566 pumpkin that is at 16' today. It was even under a shade structor over the pumpkin and he still pecked away at it. One spot is pretty deep so we will just have to watch and wait and see if the pumpkin is going to make it. I was waiting for the pumpkin to lie down before putting a cloth over it (which has worked for the other pumpkins) but the bird beat me to it.

Maybe you need a couple of owl or hawk decoys, or a scarecrow to keep the birds away!!
I was thinking a scarecrow with live ammunition.
