Far as birds , go , put up bird feeders , , and give them sumthing else to eat , instead , hang it 3 feet to 4 ft from the bush, or if have the space , like I do with mine I plant barly and and sunflowers inbetween my rows , and it will incurage the bees to visit both flowers , and plant the barly just like you would a grass seed , it wont hurt the plant, at all , rodent be your bigger problum , more then birds , go , and if have pets I recamend live traps over poisons , and insect , go to a pet store and get a few anolies and feed them the insects , instead of poison sprays , fertilizers. I use a chicken poop year round , the phosphorus from it will incurage better and sweeter fruit its acidity levals are purfect for it , when mixed with a dry sand and mixed into a clay like past , gloves are a must for that , and make baseball sized balls to put under your plant , and let the worms do the rest , and it works here I. Colorado , agenst heavy frost , since its a hot fertilizer it wont freeze as quick as outher types , and will Insulate the primo cains and shoots , from early spring frost , and if can take your cains and rap them with plastic trash bags whenwinter hits , an pick a vine you want to root and add sum rutting hormone to then sand poop mixs , and make the ball about a silver doller In size , and cover the tip of the vine and seal up with twist ties , from super market , if do it from now late July to sept , by november you will have a rooted sucker , take sucker and if can with out snaping vine lead it to a pot near by and let it grow over winter , inthe pot , come spring when shoots show , snip vine and move to a simi sunny area , tell it is atleast 3 ft in good vine , then plant to new area , by this time the barly will be ready for mead makeing , and bird feed , for winter, its a old wiccan trick my grand mother did with her vines , with new methods , added , she would also take hail damaged vines and snip them off and put them in her fish tanks hydroponics , nand let them float in the tank , to givefish plants to hide In , tell roots show or eggs are layed on leaf by the fish it wont hurt the tank at all , if you cheek them twice a week , for root when rooted , put In a pot and let them grow indoors over winter, infront a sunny window , you wont get fruit unles you pollinate the flower your self with a fine paint brush , and tap the. Flower, if you a want seed thats good for gowing from, if indoor you will get a lot a vine but little fruit tell spring after this set out side on a porch tell first flowers show , then plant the root ball , where you like , I did this with. A great lake blackberry vine and it loves it In Colorados acidic soils , the more acidic the soil the sweeter the fruit the more vigor the vine,

You plant enough so you can share with the birds. There's just a narrow window between when the berries ripen and the bees move in.
