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.
