Birds have ears, they listen to you, and if you say you are going to pick the fruit tomorrow, they think 'quick eat it'. They are very clever these birds and one day the bush is full of fruit and when you think it is ready to pick, so do they. Probably why fruit cages were invented. Birds like ripe berries too. I wish I knew who, or what dug a big hole where I planted two pepper plants, that I have been watering everyday on the allotment and left no trace of the plants. Must be the same animal that run across my pumpkins, fox I think. I would rather the birds had the fruit, then some nasty person. Starlings can strip a tree in minutes, haven't seen the green parrots yet this year. They are probably waiting for the sunflower seeds, which they love, and are welcome to.
and I thought a hobo was someone from Hoboken NJ
