that tulle is safer -- the mesh is so small that a bird wouldn't get caught in it. I would feel terrible if a bird was harmed too. I didn't have any tulle so I just draped a long white scarf over some berries while they were ripening but the birds still got to the berries. Next year I will try tulle though.
