I *did* wonder about them getting caught before suggesting it, but then
thought why do they sell it as netting to keep birds off fruit - so they
must be able to get free. Hence the suggestion had a ? in it.

I've never found a bird caught apart from one that got under some very
fine
green plastic mesh while scrumping next door's gooseberries, and even that
got out fast when it heard me coming...

....To do some scrumping yourself?
