1. Haven't tried it

But wouldn't they just peck at the pebbles AND the fruit?

2. My guess is yes, but I thought the article/comments were interesting,

esp. the clever person who used wooden eggs to train her chickens not to peck real ones. I suspect it would be harder to train all the wild birds around ones house not to peck.

Now, if I could only make an wooden tomato plant to train "my" groundhogs... maybe an ELECTRIFIED wooden tomato plant. ;)
