Unknown pepper variety I grew. These branches broke but the peppers still ripened on the branch. Mostly.

I had a few serrano plants and a friend on reddit sent me a bunch of seeds for different varieties of super hots, but my apartment had a renovation that cut my patio off from light and my cat, Gizmo, finished off what the lack of light didn't get. This plant we keep outside our front door, but these branches are broken in the pic from bringing it in for freezing weather -- Gizmo again.
This spring I'm going to get a workaround going for my patio, lifting up the plants will hopefully get them enough light and keep them safe from my cat.
I'll look into netting, thanks. The bird thing just started happening. There used to be a lot of strays that kept birds away but they all disappeared.

Reflective bird deterrent ribbon worked for me, it’s pretty cheap too. I tied it to a stake in the pot like a little flag but you could even tie it loosely around the plant itself. It can take some getting used to because the light bounces off in all directions but that’s why birds hate it.

Never heard of that before. Thanks, I'll look into it.

Another plus I forgot to mention is that it doesn’t bother the bees

I made a Gizmo meme. This is the numero uno threat to all my plants.
