Hi Everyone,
                   I have an apple tree at home and every year the birds eat the buds before they can flower hence no apples can anybody suggest how I can prevent this from happening without harming the birds. Thanks Matthew

Netting? Fruit mesh, so pollinators can get in and out.

Outdoor cats can work providing the neighbours wont pinch them.

I also saw a big plastic owl/hawk/kestral selection in a garden centre once.

Nets will probably work best
