My goal is to see birds as garden teammates — as they eat insects that can be pests, such as aphids — and not as enemies as they peck the fruit on my trees. As far as my experience goes, the best way to accomplish this is to prevent birds from access to the fruit.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve found two forms of protection to work well: bagging and netting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bagging<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a fruit tree is large or if there isn’t too much fruit on a tree, then bagging individual fruit or small clusters of fruit is effective and economical. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve used mesh produce bags, like this one from Earthwise<\/a> that is protecting a bunch of grapes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"grape

Here is a cluster of pluots that I protected with one mesh bag:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"multiple

I’ve also “bagged” fruit using swatches of breathable fabric held together with clothespins. Here are a couple peaches protected like that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"peaches

Netting<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other effective protection I’ve used is netting, but I’ve never used the nets that are actually sold for that purpose. Those nets have mesh so large that the net gets snagged on the ends of branches too easily. And if you leave the nets on, branches will grow through them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like to use tulle fabric. Specifically, I buy \u201cEconomy Colored Polyester Tulle in Bolts\u201d from Papermart<\/a>, and I buy a bolt 108 inches wide by 50 yards long, which costs around $35. (It cost $10 when I last bought one in 2018, which I’m still using here in 2024.) This bolt has enough fabric to protect the fruit of dozens of trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes I just wrap branches or sections of trees, like this Blenheim apricot:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"

Obviously, some fruit is still vulnerable to bird pecking so I do this only if the crop is huge and I don’t mind losing some.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Otherwise, I wrap the entire tree. It’s helpful to trim branches that are sticking out farther than the rest of the canopy before applying the net or else you can let those branches stick through the seams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"

\"\"<\/a>
Pluot trees covered with swaths of tulle.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I do the same with blueberry bushes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Blueberry bushes wrapped in tulle fabric, protected from birds.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I use rocks to hold down the tulle fabric around the blueberry bushes whereas I fasten the tulle fabric around branches or whole trees with clothespins. It’s easy to poke your arm into the seams of this tulle wrap in order to harvest fruit without having to remove the netting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While you do want a net to be generally closed around a tree, it’s still effective if there are small openings remaining, up to about six inches wide. One type of bird that pecks at fruit in my yard is the small finch, but I’ve found that even finches rarely enter gaps in the net of that size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
I’ve never seen a gap like this exploited by birds.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

(I use the same tulle fabric to protect my vegetables from rabbits. See “Protecting vegetables and fruit trees from rabbits.”<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grapes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both bagging and netting work to prevent birds from damaging grapes. I switch to netting if I’ve got many bunches to protect. As with trees, bring a pruning tool to the grapes so you can clip back shoots that protrude before you begin netting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite net for grapes where both sides of the vine are accessible is a “side” or “zone” net. It’s one that many vineyards use, and it’s 3-4 feet wide and can be hundreds of feet long. The net is fastened to each side of the grapevine using clips at the top and bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
I put side nets on both sides of this Blueberry grapevine.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The challenge is where to buy this netting, especially in shorter lengths appropriate for a backyard grower with only a vine or two. I can’t find such a source. (Let me know if you can.) A neighbor with a vineyard kindly shared some with me a few years ago. Maybe you can visit a local vineyard and offer to buy a few feet of their old netting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, you can prune down the top shoots of your grapevine and throw a net designed for a fruit tree over the whole plant. Some vineyards also use such nets draped over the tops of their vines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
A vineyard near me uses both side nets (foreground) and drape-over nets (background).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I prefer the side netting because it doesn’t require trimming the tops of vines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reflective strips?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing that I haven’t found effective is hanging reflective strips in a tree. When I did this in a Fuji apple tree the birds continued to peck the fruit at the same rate as before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another kind of bird I\u2019ve got pecking my fruit is the scrub jay. Scrub jays are smart. I can\u2019t imagine them having been deterred by a reflective strip for more than twenty seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other pests<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, while the bags and nets have proven very effective at keeping birds from pecking the fruit of my trees and grapevines and blueberry bushes, these nets do not stop certain other critters. Rats and possums and squirrels will chew right through these bird barriers and then consume the fruit. You’ve got to deal with competition from those animals in other ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s how I deal with squirrels<\/a>. Here’s how I deal with rats<\/a>. And here’s how some other food gardeners in Southern California deal with squirrels and rats<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
