I use bird net here on my little cherry tree,--without it we dont get 1 cherry! Also have to put it over the strawberries. We have 3 or 4 nets. The first really old one I got is 16' x 75' and its been used for 15 years on the berries and then later it goes over the cherry tree in the years it sets fruit crop.
The people down the road from us that have the 10 acre patch claim that elderberries help fight cancer and kept their dad going for another 2 years after doc. gave him 6 months to live. --- Thats their story and I dont think the berries had anything to do with it but who knows!
