Get yourself a cut off length of palm trunk or wild banana and tie it to a sheltered spot in the garden for next season. Pre-drill a small hole to encourage them to start the process.
I'll definitely do that, thanks. Palm or banana, is that just because they're softer, or is that what the Barbets are after?
Haven't got a clear enough pic, but I'm pretty sure it's a Crested Barbet.
I'll put a fruit out tomorrow and wait patiently with my paintball gun for the mynahs to arrive
