Bird flu isn't a myth or a conspiracy. The way we keep our birds is going to evolve and netting a waterfowl collection is worth serious thought.

• Prevents predation of birds and eggs

• Reduces food bill

• Reduces disease transfer from wild birds

• Keeps migratory birds out

• Contains non-native species

• Avian Influenza biosecurity compliant

• Allows keeping of free winged species

• Modern netting allows large areas to be covered

• Keeps large leaves off the pond

• Difficult, but not impossible to work with mature trees

• Not so pretty

• Heavy wet snow can sit on it

• Leaves can sit on it
