Beginner Gardening: Need advice on planting a hillside, 1 by glendalekid

I have a large hillside that I want to plant in lots of flowers, reseeding annuals and perennials. It has grass on it now, but there is space in between the clumps of grass. Last year I tried just throwing seeds around. I think I provided an expensive meal for the birds. I have planted lots of daffodils out there, but I need a quick/easy way to get the flowers going.

So, I need a Plan B. It is far too large an area to grow from seed and then transplant out. How do I keep the birds from feasting again?
Here is a photo of the area.

Thanks,
