Any ideas of friendly way to rid vines of birds? I have a family of
Robins that return every year and they try to eat the harvest. One
year the parents raised a brood off of a vine of grapes.

Thanks,
Greg

Bird Netting

I have a family of Robins in my rose bush at the head of a row of vines
right now. The eggs have hatched and they will be gone my the time I put
up the netting - around the first of August.

Any child could tell you that if you can get four and twenty of them ....

That's blackbirds. The OP has robins. Not sure how many of those you'd need,
but it's probably more, as they're smaller.

Hi: I had good results last year with the holographic tape. I attached it
to each pole on a foot long rod.

Aluminum foil pie pans swinging on a string usually keeps birds away
from an area.
Also, you can buy fake snakes; birds hate to see them.
