In my old house, I had some fruit trees, one of which was a loquat tree. It was fairly small, but gave quite a good harvest. Unfortunately, the birds would often get to enjoy the fruit before I could, so I put some netting over the tree to keep them out. The birds were not put off so easily. They worked out that they could get underneath the netting and fly up to the branches to get to the fruit, but they became trapped and couldn't figure out how to get back out. I felt sorry for them, so I lifted the netting for them. When they were released, they just walked away. They seemed to me to be so fat and full that maybe they couldn't manage to fly away.
