I'm looking for ideas

Does anyone have good ideas to keep birds out of my cherry trees?

We use a big net. We actually bought some net curtains and made into a giant net it works quite well. We have the same issue with ours :)

@Silentangel This will be your best answer. Netting is standard practice.

Sounds great....but these are wild trees...some of them are close to 40 feet tall

@NewBecky aye honestly it works! For veg plots we use those mini polytunnels or again a bit of wire and net :).

My boss put old CDs on a string and hung them around his work garden, birds get spooked by shiny reflective things blowing around in the wind.

Netting is about all I know

you can find a fake owl in most garden centers, also fake snakes
@mrmoose ok thank you!

@Mondayschild i just happen to work in a garden center
I found a lot of things on Amazon for birds and crows.

Yes This site offers about a dozen ways to do it, but I can save you a little time.

You’re going to have to obsess about keeping the birds away.

I've given up on all my fruit trees
I've surrendered them to the birds

As a last resort cherry trees are good for other things like chips to use in your smoker, Cherry is good for some woodworking , gives off heat when burnt in fireplace or wood stove. As I said as a last resort. Good luck

@Repete I have wild (non fruit cherries) for the woodstove. There about my favorite firewood

@Justenjoyit when the blackbirds come.... there's hundreds and hundreds. A shotgun isn't even effective
