I have a number of Nankings myself.  Mine seems to be ripeninf right 
now.  Yes, the birds have discovered mine too.  All I got left is one 
bush that I wrapped with window screening at the last minute.  The 
trouble is I don't know how to tell when they are ripe??

They are now (almost) fully red and the fuzzy skin is now shiny.

do I wait till they fall off or what??
