Here is what happens to me every year when they really start to get ripe. Birds will eat em all quickly.

After many trials and failures, I found these will deter them just long enough to harvest the majority as long as they aren't put out too early. They will last a couple weeks as long as they are moved around every day or so.
Found them on eBay, and cheap too.

Yes they blend into the mix and the crust comes out looking good. Hard not to put a scoop of ice cream on top if it is hot out off the oven.This works well with the canned pie fillings also, but nothing beats fresh off the bush.

He is a well known and respected outdoor writer from my neck of the woods and I enjoy his stories of growing up in the rural south and fishing and hunting as a boy and all the cooking that went with it.
All your talking about blueberries and blackberries brought to mind this recipe from his website. Hope you enjoy both.

BLACKBERRY COBBLER

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup milk
¼ cup (one stick) butter, melted
2-4 cups blackberries
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and milk; stir with a wire whisk until smooth. Add melted butter and blend. Pour batter into a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Pour berries (amount depends on whether you like lots of berries or lots of crust) evenly over batter. Do not stir. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or milk.
NOTE: This recipe works equally well with a number of other berries including dewberries, raspberries, elderberries, huckleberries, and blueberries

This is the same one my wife cooks, she said it is so easy and it always comes out good.

Got them bad as a kid picking berries. My wild berries are in a narrow strip along my side yard. I mow right up to them and can pick them while standing in my yard, no chiggers!
