I treat my Amelamchier the same way I do with my cherry trees. As soon
as the flowers are finished blooming, I hang red, plastic beads in the
bushes. The birds scatter them and I pick them up and re-hang them.
Eventually the birds think that red things are not good to eat, so when the
fruit starts turning red, they don't eat them. Robins, especially, are
easily fooled.
