Joe is talking about bird poop on his grapes. Joe...the best thing is to
have the tree cut down and this will give the grapes more sun. But, I
understand if you don't want to go to the expense of that or if you like the
tree. I live in the middle of 4 acres of trees. For years Grackles nested
in these trees...hundreds of them. We used to go out right at twilight,
about the time the birds roosted for the night, and hit a tree trunk with a
2x4 board...make a real loud sound. This would scare the h. out of the
birds and cause mass confusion. They would all fly away. Try this
repeatably and see if you can encourage the birds to find another home.

Also, if you can get a few crows to visit they will rid your yard of any
other bird species. But they like grapes and you will need the bird
netting. Being a farmer is tough isn't it.

The simplest and only way to protect your grapes 99% from birds is by
using
bird netting.
