Do you net the trees? We have king parrots and bats get into our fig tree, mangos, guavas and nectarine and we net all of them now.

No I haven't netted the Macadamia, it would be a hell of a job to do it unfortunately but I did hear on the ABC radio gardening program that it's now possible to get reflective tape that will deter Aussie birds from fruit trees.

Apparently it looks a bit like CD/DVD reflections but different and apparently works very well, it's supposedly available from Native Nurseries but I haven't found any yet....................probably spending too much time waving sticks and shouting at Black Cockies I guess....!!

OH ho, found some, I'll get some and give it a go..............
