Jim,
I read about you tricking the birds in Pomona and got a chuckle. It's a
clever idea. But how do you keep from picking up the loose "berry" wires in
lawnmower tires?

Hey Richard,them
Beads are beads by whatever color you want and they have a hole in
for stringing them up - I use a wire and hang them like a Christmas treeI
bulb. I buy them at the local craft supply store here in town buying as
true to size as possible for the berries I want to mimic. For most fruits
use round (spherical) beads and a special bead, called "berry beads" thatsites.
look strikingly like a raspberry for the raspberry patch.
I remove the beads just when the first fruit is ready for harvesting.
Visitors to my garden/orchard are always fooled by the beads expressing
surprise when they just picked a fake berry. Hey, it fools
people...................and birds.
