Growing Lime Trees - Tiki Drinks and Food

Several years back we purchased what we thought was a Persian lime tree. After a few fruitless seasons it finally produced, to my dismay, a few key limes. So we bought another (actual) Persian tree last year and it recently started fruiting like crazy. Unfortunately, right before ripening, a bunch of the fruit started getting attacked, I believe by Grackles. Being in Texas, we keep the tree potted so we can move it in the garage during the occasional freeze. So we found a new location for this tree in our backyard where our dogs could hopefully protect it from preditors. Anyone ever have an issue with birds eating their citrus, or have solutions?
