We get lots of self-seeded tomato plants from our compost. The ones that we've left to grow have largely turned out to be sprawling dwarf plants with huge stems of tiny tomatoes, smaller than a cherry tomato. It's usually worth the expense of buying properly bred plants so you get what you expect.
Birds will devastate your crop. The ways we deal with that are to pick some tomatoes as soon as they start to turn colour, and ripen them indoors, and also to cover some stems on the plant with paper bags or big snap lock bags until they ripen. It's a nuisance, but if you don't do something the birds will ruin pretty well all of the crop.
