I didn't know there was such a thing. We plant berries for the birds but I know Hubby is going to want some for himself to.

I think it might be white, rather than black, but it seems to me there was something else about it that made it safer for birds than the Bird-X stuff; perhaps that it was made of some special material. I've had another thought to keep birds off it: Perhaps I could just hang some of those reflective decals around on the netting, if I could find a way to attach them. Problem is, they are a bit pricey at around $7 for four.

I find all netting one can get in box stores here are no good, too light, easy for birds to get tangled into. The only one's I would get is the heavy duty one's, a fabric I think, some commercial growers use them but they're all in large rolls.

In link is a netting [light], please don't use.
I used frost blankets this year, some kind of fleece.

Thanks, everyone. The cloth type treatment may work, but seems to exclude a lot of light. I'd also prefer something a bit less visible, as the area is in view from every angle. Maybe I could use wire instead. DH is not a fan of wire because he thinks it should be taken down in the winter, and wire would be hard to store and less manageable to handle. I'll keep looking for an appropriate material and post if I find something.

See if you can get the heavy netting.

I know this discussion is old, but how would shade cloth work? It's a finer mesh, and you can find grades that allow light, 30% -40% recommended for plants.

Not sure, one could try, shade cloth is designed to shade, row covers are very light [white] and designed to leave them on over plants, it's been working good for me.
Also, row covers are so easy to take off, I've been using them now for other berry bushes to keep the fruit flies out, no chemical spraying needed, I'm getting hooked on these .

Shade would probably be appreciated by my berries, it gets hot here on the Central Coast in the summer, but I can see the advantage of row covers too, easy is always nice. Less expense as well.
