Wow - very pretty. Why do the birds not eat them?

I really don't know, they eat the orange pyracantha berries in the back garden but even during the last hard winter none of these were touched!

It really is odd, PP, I wonder if it is where my red berried bush in sited, right alongside the front path.

That is wonderful. The birds have almost stripped our yellow berried pyracantha but have barely touched the orange and red ones but from experience the orange ones will be chosen before the red ones. All three of ours grow on a fence above a wall between our back garden and a field to the east of our house. The blackbirds have already started stripping the red cotoneaster berries in the front garden and the majority of the yew berries are gone. Blackbirds and thrushes love them.
