Default Plum tree and bird eating fruit problem

Birds are destroying my ripe plums and cherries. Do any of you have any
suggestions how I can stop this from happening again next year?
Thanks for your help.

CDs hanging in the tree - you know those AOL discs. Try this, find some birds
in a tree, take a couple of discs. Position yourself so the sun will shine on
the discs and the reflection will hit the tree. See the birds reaction. You
will be a beliver.

I concur. See my earlier post. Hang throughout the tree with a single
strand of fishing line. It will look like a 70s disco with the
slightest breeze. One month with my fig tree that way and not one
bird.
