I have to put bird netting over my blueberries to get anything for me. After the first picking, I take off the netting at let the birds go nuts.<br>
<br>
Neighbor cut down a 30' fig tree 'cause it was 'messy'. They had no idea what those funny things the birds were fighting over were. Figs will ferment on the tree and the birds will fight over the fermented ones and get just blasted and fall out. funny to watch a flock staggering around like college kids at a kegger.<br>

The house we're now renting, has a hybrid fruit tree in back. Our<br>
first summer here we didn't know that what it was. All of sudden it<br>
seemed it was growing these green fuzz balls. A week or 2 later we saw<br>
that they changed colors and found that they were peaches, but there<br>
were also nectarines and plums. Most of them the bugs and worms got<br>
which attracted the birds. We were soon invaded by birds that would<br>
start fighting each other for the bug infested fruit leaving the<br>
remains to rot on the patio.<br>
<br>
Last summer we weren't able to get any of the fruit as everyone had<br>
worm holes.<br>
