Birds Making Trouble Up in the Tree!

This morning, I came out to look for any ripe figs from our tree in the back garden and found a big one with a small hole in it. Damn! It is those pesky birds, I know it!

A group of birds can easily destroy the fruit from a fig tree. In my case, my next door neighbor has a massive tree in their garden so lots of birds, pigeons and even squirrels perch on it. Every year I have a race against those birds and squirrels but of course in the end they always get more figs than I!

The worst thing is the birds don't eat much from the fig tree, they just like to have a taste of each one, picking small holes in one fig then moving to the next one, eventually ruining a lot of your perfectly ripe figs. What a waste! This really made me frustrated.

I honestly don't know how to keep the birds away from my fig tree. I can only pick each fig early in the morning before the birds get to all of them and also pick them later in the day. Feel free to leave any advice or tips if you have similar experiences, lol.

My grandmother use to tie a few plastic bags in the tree close to the fruit (just tie it by the handle) - does not look very pretty but makes a noise if birds lands on it or the wind blows so scares them off

Good idea! I shall give it a try, thanks!

Growing up, we had three cherry trees.

We knew when the cherries were ripe - when all of the cherries were gone. The birds would pick the tree clean in a day.

It was sooooo frustrating.

Cherry trees are lovely and I understand how frustrated not being able to enjoy the fruits.
