I've tried to feed, then I've stopped feeding the birds, and I have seen
little difference in the bird damage to the fruit as it ripens. I do net
the cherries to get some fruit, without I'd have little or none. I have
had birds eating the peach blossoms and I get mad until I see I still
have to thin lots more!

I would guess that they get only a few buds and you will get blossoms.
and then fruit!

These "lovely" little birds are picking at the buds; probably won't 
blossom now, so no flowers left to be pollinated.  Anyone have similar

experiences and what did they try?  I can't quite see netting these 
trees, but maybe that's the only way; never heard of a "bird
repellent".
