Maria,
I haven't had the need. I have netting over my blueberries (needs to be removed for pollination because bumble bees won't fly through it, but that is another subject) and haven't had much of a problem with my honeyberries. Could this be a challenge for you to figure it out?

Jim

What about honeyberries/haskaps? The birds eat them all the second they
ripen. Jim, have you tried blue beads on honeyberries or blueberries?

Alan,
You have my permission to send it to anyone. I sent it to magazines in

Jim, do you mind if I quote your comments on the Growingfruit.org forum?
Some members who don't also participate on nafex@lists might be interested.
I always thought this an ingenious strategy and reading it again I feel
foolish for never having tried it as you've been sharing this for a very
long time.

I grow sour cherries and have ZERO bird problems. Why? I hang red plastic
'cherries' in the trees and leave them in the tree the whole year around,
replacing them as they fade. Also, I put red painted stones in the
strawberries as soon as blooming is finished. The birds peck on the rocks,
hurt their beaks and don't come back. AND I hang raspberry shaped berry
beads around the perimeter of the red raspberry patch as soon as blooming is
done. It doesn't work 100% but it helps. Black berry beads do not work
with blackberry and black raspberry and I don't know why not.
