Pukeko and Parrot Proof

The pukekos infiltrated my raised beds and uprooted my leeks. 

And the parrots have been pecking my cabbages. 

So I've now put bird netting over the top as well as the wind cloth around the sides. 

The only problem is that my globe artichoke is a little tall but I've used canes to prop up the net on each side of it. 

That should do it!
