Default Bird Protection.

This cage is to protect my seven Haskap (Honeyberry) plants from birds eating the fruit. Chicken wire mesh is relatively cheap, and fibre glass screening is convenient to workl with, but not cheap. I have to protect most of my fruit trees and bushes or there is almost complete destruction from robins and some other birds.

A one inch mesh chicken wire with a fibre glass screen top to make a cage to protect the Haskap berries from birds was installed over the seven Haskap bushes.The support posts were six foot rebar. The chicken wire was tied to the posts using plastic ties.Eight foot wide fibre glass screening was used for the top of the structure, tied using plastic ties to the support rebar.
