BIRD NETTING

Birds love blueberries! Like most commercial growers, we net our bushes to minimize the damage. Our nets are secured to the ground with sand bags, and clothespins are hung so you can hold the nets out of the way while picking. Please take care to replace the netting and sand bags when finished.

​

Oh no! A bird is caught in the net!

What do I do?

Birds are easy to release if you set the stage. Here's how:

​

1. Walk to one end of the row, raise the net, & hold open with clothespins.

2. Walk to other end of row so that the bird is between you and the open end. 

3. Walk towards the open end while clapping your hands, shooing the bird towards the opening. They will fly away from you, and eventually find their way out.
