No crop loss from birds.

Two dogs - Australian Blue Healer and a 120-lb. Lab (wanted around the
County for THEFT OF FOOD) keep that problem to a minimu.

OTOH, the birds are plentiful enough to keep my bug problems
non-existant.

Gooseberries (gotta prune 'em to "open" (vase) shape - those thorns hurt
(big ones - 1" - OUCH)) and elderberries - lots o' work picking, but no
pest probs.
