They will push themselves to the almonds and chew the almonds with their beaks pushed through the netting holes

There is another way but its not legal.

Cheers
Marty, I tried netting my fig trees a few years ago, and as you say, the birds go in underneath-I even pegged the nets to the ground and they would still get in
The local cockatoos are so used to humans, they just come straight back if I chase them away.
