used it as a ruse for the birds.

lol, what a great idea,,,, how did it work?

?????????????

I don't know if it worked or not,
but none of my real figs had any bird damage.

Hi Eden,
I was just having some fun.
those are some small spanish red onions I attached to a desert king as a decoy and discouragement for any birds that might take a fancy to some figs.

Looks like you have so mach fun but i bet you births have funny dance to when they try your onions LoL.

Lol

Haha fantastic idea!

I missed this yesterday, but what a great decoy!  Wow!

Suzi

I'm going through old threads reading up on what's posted on unknown spain/spanish figs and this one made me laugh

I had missed this also.. thanks for bumping it. Real funny!

that is too funny

So the birds don't like onion? how about spraying onion juice to the tree?

Priceless Grant, will definitely have to try that one.

Ha! That is awesome. I picked up some christmas ornaments for the same reason. I like these better ;)

Hahaha...Nice!

Andy,

I like that idea, christmas tree ornaments in the fig tree.  Think I'll add that to the pink flamingo in my yard  : )  Joking, just joking.
