I’ve noticed a lot of little birds have recently made their home in a large bush/tree at the edge of my neighbours’ garden. I want to protect them (the birds) from my delightful cat who is already showing considerable interest, sitting by the window overlooking the bush, and staring fixedly at it.
There is a fence between us, but the bush overhangs it & is taller than the fence. I can cut back the bush overhang in my garden, but think I also need to prevent the cat climbing that bit of fence to get into the bush in the garden next door.
All fence proofing methods though seem to involve mesh and I’m worried that itself might be bad for the birds! Has anyone discovered another method? Mesh free? I’m kind of vaguely wondering whether one possibility might be to fix a pipe towards the top of the fence on my side but have no idea if that would work……
