Yes they love figs I am afraid .

When we are called out to rescue them from fruit netting they are usually in a fig tree.

Bunnings carry fruit netting that is bat and bird friendly ( as much as it can be )but it needs to be tied correctly for it to work properly. 
You will find instructions and examples on ACT Wildlife website  www.actwildlife.net if you decide to do it.

Three bats at our place (Griffith) a couple of nights ago, checking out our very large fig tree, hundreds of figs but they are not ripe yet.  Usually I say that there are enough figs for us and the birds, but I am not so keen on bats.  I m afraid that if we put netting over the tree, bats will get caught in it and then we will really be in trouble.

Also something is eating our tomatoes, as soon as they change colour.  I think that it might be a bower bird. We have seen one.  It takes quite big bites, and can even remove tomato from bush, then drop it.  I am now picking them as soon as they show a bit of colour
