Araldite is too expensive, I fear. Another adhesive - PVA perhaps?
Whatever, I would need to keep the birds off until it dried, or the
result
might be some unwanted ornaments.

You might be right there Lucy.....mix PVA with 50% water and apply with a
watering can. It might bind the bark together. It is used in the building
trade to bind loose flakey walls before plastering so give it a try!

sample area first.!!!! )

That would not be clever. PVA does not rot at a reasonable rate and it will
coat the bark, thus sealing a large part of the surface against entry of
rotting agents.
