Number one tip is to net them as soon as they form as the pigeons will strip
them before they get to anything like edible for humans. They use a lot of
potash so you can sort that out with your feeding. I try to give them some
manure each year too. Mine are jam packed with fruit at the moment

Our pigeons obviously haven't learnt about gooseberries, they eat the
cherries but not the gooseberries.
