Do birds like the berries on the pyracantha cultivars like Tiny Tim and Apache? I want to plant some against a lower wall.

According to this website (floridata.com), birds do like to eat the berries.

I don't think the birds care too much about we call them :) I've never seen a pyracantha a bird didn't like.

Birds not only love the pyracantha berries -- it makes them drunk!. I've seen them so smashed on the berries that they could not fly. I had pyracantha years ago next to the driveway when I lived in North Hollywood. I had to keep rescuing the drunken birds from the neighborhood cats.
