How to protect blueberries

I have five blueberry bushes which have fruit on them now but have noticed that the blackbirds have a taste for them so I need to cover them but not sure what to use.I have netting but the problem is when I try to remove it to pick the berries I lose a lot because the berries catch in the holes in the net and get pulled off.I did think of using fleece.Any ideas appreciated.

 

My neighbour uses old net curtains

 

Hiya Paul
Once the blackbirds have a taste of blueberries you can say goodbye to your crop

I have 2 bushes and erected a temporary net over them suspended over bamboo canes with caps over them well above the fruit. Stretched reasonably tight and totally secured on the soil (the slightest gap and the birds are in). I arrange it so I can lift one side of the netting for access.

Coincidentally, picking blueberries is a task planned for today...looks like a good crop

 

I did something like that before and put old yogurt pots on top of the canes and sometimes fixed the net to the top of the canes with clothes pegs.Net curtains sounds like a good idea might be able to pick up some cheap ones.
