We have a neighbor who is a florist and has a garden and fruit trees. He covers the fruit trees with netting to keep away the birds. It is woven with big holes in it, something like a fishing net. Since we live next to the ocean, perhaps it is fish net. 2. Plant trees for the birds. I have heard that you can plant a very bland-flavored berry such as the mulberry. Birds prefer this to the berries which humans like. They like strawberries, but if they can get mulberries, they like them better. (Obviously, this solution is not one that will work for you this year.) 3. Cats. 4. Dogs. I must caution that none of these ideas are from first-hand experience. Hopefully other will be able to make suggestions also. your servant, Hare Krsna dasi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
