Pete , the birds don't peck through the bags at all here, but leave one out ( I missed it) of a bag and they are on it quickly, just as it starts to turn color and is no where near ripe!
Even keeps out the ants with no tanglefoot or alum foil and vaseline on tree.
I also have some 3x4 that I originally bought , will save those for the smaller sized figs like my Celeste. Kadota's are in the 4x6's and there's enough room.
