The message
from "Dwayne" contains these words:

I have put 2 cherry trees in my back yard. They are dwarf trees and only 3
or 4 years old. They had charries last year and I got them all, not the
birds.

The back yard is fenced and we have a couple of dogs. I dont know if they
help keep the birds out of the cherry trees or not.

Look in your catalogs for trees that produce yellow cherries. The birds are
a bother only when they think the fruit is ripe, and will leave the yellow
ones alone. I am in the U.S. and most catalog companies offer the yellow
ones. Some companies will ship overseas. If you dont find one, let us know
and I will look them up and give you an address to write or e-mail.

I had two dwarf Stella, and those have largely yellow cherries. The
birds scoffed the lot.

I see we are going to have to send you some of our blackbirds in
exchange for the little grey tree-rats you gave us.......
