FIGS 4 FUN
MORE INFO ABOUT ORGANZA BAG BIRD CONTROL
These have proved to be quite useful. They were suggested by a Figs 4 Fun Forum member last year.
Color doesn't seem to matter - have tried green, blue and red. The green ones get lost and are hard to find on the tree. The fabric of blue ones has faded fairly quickly, but the draw string retains its color. The red ones do not seem to attract any birds and pests, even though they are brightly colored.
They seem to prevent rotting (from entry of bugs) on splitting fruit, if installed before the split begins.
They are good for small birds, but did not deter crows, or coyotes.
The 3 x 4 are only good for very small fruits. The 4 x 6 fit many small and medium figs, but the 5 x 7 have proved the most versatile and easier to install because of their larger size.
They provide protection from bugs, if they fall off the tree with the fig inside.
They are not good for large trees with dozens or hundreds of figs (labor intensive) unless they ripen a few at a time. I used them for several days on my large Vista tree until I got my regular birdnet installed.
They are readily available on Ebay, Amazon and a hundred other places. They are marketed for use in "wrapping" party favors.
