Has anyone had this problem?
How can it be stopped?

Quite a few customers have complained about birds taking colourful stones off graves. Mostly bright colours.

i suppose they could be resin bound but graveyards by their very nature tend to be outdoors
and all that goes with that

Because birds don't have teeth they eat stones to aid digestion.

I was hoping there would be something to spray on to keep the birds away?

Crows are quite clever so you could put up a sign saying: please don't steal stones :;): :)
Maybe the resin for bonding but i would just keep replacing stones as and when.
