We had our garden open to the public yesterday and one of the comments was
'Don't you have a lot of birds?'. We have bird feeders behind wire netting
to keep the Pigeons off and also to try to keep the Starlings off.

Leaving aside any mention of cats, dogs, etc .. I am MUCH more
interested in the type of wire netting you use to protect the bird
feeders. What type is it? What gauge (i.e. how big are the holes?)

and what sort of netting, wire, elctric fence, razor wire whatever
will keep the squirrels off the bird feeders!
