Re: What do you do about birds ? and Jackie French

Thanks Allan, you're absolutely right , I wouldn't mind though if the birds
'came and picked a whole fruit' but it gets getting frustrating when each
piece of fruit has several jab marks with their beaks. 
I shouldn't complain. I like to think of myself as an organic
gardener....so this is all part of the cycle of things.
By the way for the Aussies on this list, Ive recently discovered Jackie
French's gardening books, ( she's the one who has a spot on Burkes Backyard
) If anyone wants a fresh bit of encouragement try one of her books. If
people want more info I can give it .
