Answer 1

Sorry ~ not sure if you want to kill the tree or bird

Answer 2

Do you want to kill the birds, or an insect that the birds are eating? I don't think you are allowed to kill birds, check with your local authority, like council, or any department in your local that can give you information on the wildlife, pest control. If you want to use a insecticide that controls sap sucking insects use confidor. If you wandt to protect your pond from birds then maybe get some sort of wire mesh over the top of the water, or cover the plants with a of protective cloth. I am sure you wouldn't be allowed to kill birds, unless you are a farmer and hold a gun license, then you can shoot them.
