What does sugar do to the birds? I want to deter them, not kill them.

Jerry,
See this link from Marvin Pritts, Cornell fruit
researcher:

They rate options to netting.

I forget which NAFEX meeting, but I recall the fruit
researcher
wondering aloud why more homeowners and small-scale growers
were not
spraying sucrose as a bird deterrent. Readily
available and
inexpensive.
