   I keep (LOTS of) red berry beads on my Evans Cherry trees the whole year 
around.  The Robins peck on them, deciding they are inedible and don't come 
back when the trees are full of cherries.  If you do this for yourself, be 
sure and attach the beads with dead-soft aluminum wire that expands as the 
branches grow.
