Unpopular opinion: free-range is overrated for city lots
Had a guy at the feed store swear his birds never touch his garden. Mine hit my tomato patch 3 times in one week last June. Lost about 20 bucks of plants before I fenced them in. Anyone else find the 'happy free-range' thing just means more work?

...and honestly it's like the whole "natural" thing with everything now. People see a word like free range or pasture raised and think it means zero supervision. But animals are gonna animal. My neighbor got goats to clear brush and they ate her porch railing. Same energy. The feed store guy probably has acreage where his birds can wander off and get bored. On a city lot, there's nowhere for them to go but your stuff. It's not that the idea is bad, it's that people sell it like it's set and forget. Every living thing needs managing, especially in a small space.
