Latest Pest in my garden.

This is currently trashing various parts of my garden especially the soft fruit.
This is a disadvantage of having a Zoo for a neighbour.

 

Pretty birds but as you say Nigel, so destructive!

 

Oh gracious @NigelJ how annoying ,

 

Hi Nigel,

I hope the elephants can't escape, now that would be damage

Seriously though can't you erect some fruit cages or would they still get through ?

 

Lots round Sheffield at the moment Anthony , i wouldn't mind one to be honest, I will make a note of the auction date.

Any cage needs to be a solid affair given the size of the birds.
I am in the process of putting up a 12ft * 12ft cage to protect the gooseberries and currants.
The idea of a large cage over the whole garden has an appeal, but I always thought the birds should be in the aviary not outside.
