Bird netting is a type of protective barrier designed to prevent birds from accessing certain areas. It is commonly used in agriculture, horticulture, and other settings where birds may pose a threat to crops, fruits, or other valuable items. Bird netting is typically made of lightweight and durable materials such as nylon or polyethylene.
The netting is installed over plants, trees, or structures to create a physical barrier that prevents birds from reaching the protected area. Bird netting comes in various mesh sizes to accommodate different types of birds. It is an effective and humane way to control bird damage without causing harm to the birds.
Some common applications of bird netting include protecting fruit orchards, vineyards, gardens, fish ponds, and commercial buildings. The goal is to create a barrier that denies access to birds while allowing sunlight, air, and moisture to reach the covered plants or areas. Bird netting is often used as part of integrated pest management strategies to reduce the need for chemical solutions and minimize damage to crops.
