Jim, where do you get the plastic cherries?

Sam,

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.

Cherry growers sometimes feel like they're growing fruit mainly for the birds, but there is new information that can help them make informed decisions ...
