We used to lose our whole crop to the birds, since they eat the berries
before they are ripe.

I bought some netting, large enough to cover our five plants. I had
some one-inch line in the garage (mooring line that had been replaced by
new), which I sewed around the edge of the netting. It takes two of us
to place the netting, which I do when the berries are formed, and the
line around the edge is heavy enough to keep it from blowing away. I
got fairly large netting, so the birds can still get the berries near
the net, but we get the rest.

I have four three year old blueberry bushes in my backyard. All four
are about three-foot tall. This year it looks like I'm going to get a
decent yield from all of the bushes. However, I have a lot of blue
jays, cardinals, mocking birds, squirrels, and of course, sparrows
visiting my yard every day.

First question: Do you think I stand a chance of retrieving the
berries before these guys take their cut?

Second question: Which one of these guys are going to be the biggest
thief?

Third question: Is there anything I can do to keep them from stealing
all the berries?
