I suspected birds were the problem last year when I only got a few blueberries. This year, I put large tomato cages around a few of the plants. I covered them with an old sheer curtain. I put on clothes pins when the wind kept blowing the curtains to the ground. This also made for easy harvesting.
This was at the top under the curtain. I think the birds still get in the sides, but these at the top were safe. I saw a chain link cage on someone's blog. Might be a good idea.
Later, I was at the other end of the driveway, when I saw a mockingbird go into the tomato cage to look for a snack. Just what I suspected. A larger sheer curtain might be in order.
