Outdoor ficus damaged by Corellas

Question

I have a ficus in a beer barrel pot outside. Corellas have bitten and chewed the branches and the leaves are dying. It is a reasonable sized tree. I would like to save this tree. I thought about some sort of net after I treat it. Thank you for any advice. It would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

Yes, you should be able to find bird screening at garden centers.
