Tell me if you've experienced this before, I'm hoping I don't experience it myself.

You've waited all season, you've planted and cared for your blueberries, you're starting

to see some blush come on to those berries, you know it's about time to eat them, and

then you wake up the next day and voila, they're gone because some birds have munched

on them.

I've heard this from a lot of different people, my blueberries are coming to the point

where that fate may befall them because they're starting to get ripe at least a couple

of the clusters are, and you really can't blame the birds, they're doing what birds do,

but you don't have to give your blueberries to them if you don't want to, because especially

as the years roll on, they'll know that the blueberries are there and they'll just come

and munch them down.

So how do you actually prevent birds from your crops, and some of this will, you know

this will apply to some other berries or other plants as well, but there are some birds

that you want to watch out for.

Starlings, number one, I have a lot of starlings around my house.

Starlings will arrive in these really large flocks and they will eat the fruit whole and

they will just sort of puncture things with their claws or their beaks, and then you've

got robins as well, beautiful bird, but they will start to munch, right?

You also have finches, red winged black birds, stuff like that, those can come through,

and you get into one of the most foolproof options straight out of the gate.

It just doesn't look good, it's netting.

So this is what everyone does, if they're like a commercial blueberry farmer or strawberry
