I hear so many people say this about their fruit. Mine is not in a cage but in open ground with the vegetable plot and I have loads of birds in the garden as I feed them lots and love to see them. So far, touch wood, I have not had any problem with birds attacking the fruit or devouring it. I get heaps each year and as I say I have made enough jam to last me right through till the next crop of fruit.
I don't know why they stay away - we do mulch all the garden with spent hops so perhaps they get too drunk and fall off the branches!!!! Or perhaps it is the smell that keeps them away - it does smell like a brewery a bit when they first go on but soon compost down and do wonders for the fruit and veg. Bye the way Mrs T have pm you to say "thanks".
