Do you need to put bird nets over your trees before harvest time ? I find the birds hungrier each year, though this year I pruned my apricot tree either too hard or didn’t know what I was doing, (probably the latter) so no fruit. Much to my cat’s chagrin as she likes to chase the birds
No, we don't put nets. I guess our birds are not that much of a pest. We share and there's plenty for everyone. :D Speaking of pruning, I just did some yesterday. Will see if I've managed to kill the quince.
With apricots, it may just be a lean year. It's the same here -- one year every single tree in the village bears massive amounts of fruit. Next year -- nothing.

... it must be climate change then :)
No doubt that's what it is. :D
