Spray the tree with hot pepper sauce. The 4-footed critters will steer
clear. Won't affect the birds.
If your trees are a significant distance from other trees, the metal bands
around the trunks have a chance of working.
Trapping or poisoning the animals is probably just as illegal as shooting
them.
