I know you said "besides netting", but my netting solution works great.
I use one of those big screens that goes around a circular patio awning. I have to use two people with hockey sticks to lift it over the tops, and we drape it over 2 fairly large, sprawled out saskatoon trees.
I bought a half dozen of these screens a few years ago on sale, I use 2 or 3 depending. I don't put them on until they start to ripen, as it seems the birds don't bother them until they start to ripen anyway.
