I like the idea - hope it works! I had birds pecking my tomatoes six years ago at the old place, and wish I'd tried more things. I do have some fabric netting if needed, and the homemade cages we just made are a little closer than yours, but we sure do have a lot of birds here and I didn't find any of my winter toms with telltale beak injections in them. I also wonder whether shiny aluminum pie plates might kind of scare them away with the reflected light. Scarecrow? Cat?
