Figs and Birds!

The birds are at my fig tree early this year.   They are going after all the ripe figs and I suspect I will end up without almost any to eat.   I have no idea how to stop them from getting almost all of the figs.  In 2007 we had planned to have figs at our wedding but the damned birds cleaned us out two days beforehand.

I suspect I need to trim the size of the tree and figure out some sort of netting system to ensure we get our fair share of the fruit.

Any ideas from anyone else out there?
