you cold try hanging cd's up - to scare the birds away - but i think you will have to net them - poundland have 6m by 4m pea and bean netting - which is what i use. ;)

I just kept the tops covered with fleece/net curtains pegged to the support canes The birds only seemed interested in the new growth and flowers.
