I just leave mine unprotected. Each year the birds start eating them
before they are ripe, but the trees produce enough that the birds eat
all they want, and there are more than enough left for us. I keep
thinking it would be nice if I could train the birds to eat the high
hanging fruit that I can't reach, and leave the low hanging fruit for me.
