What are the plastic bags hanging in the trees in menorca?

never been there but bags are generally put on fruit to stop the birds eating it before it's picked

as in spain, they are filled with a sweet syrup to attract the bugs, to stop them attacking the fruit, as others say, it is not to scare the birds away. i lived in spain for three years and it was common practise there.

In the case of my area where there are many olive groves, they hang bags of soil or bottles of water on branches to weigh the branch down. It's to keep the shape of the olive tree the way they want it to grow.

If they were fruit trees then they are to scare away the birds.

Edit: I lived in Spain for 5 years and filling them with syrup wasn't common practise there. I lived right next to a plantation of Nispero trees and they used them for the birds.
