Default Brassica cage?

Fruit cage netting will do the job, fencing posts (Of your chosen height)
hammered into the ground at about 6 to 9ft intervals with pop bottles (with
the tops cut off) put over the top of the posts to stop the netting
snagging. then drape the netting over as required. This will also keep the
butterflies away as long as you have no leaves touching the netting.
Pigeons mostly want to settle amongst the crop rather than land and walk
over to it.
