What could I put in a #PNW hedge to replace Himalayan blackberries from the point of view of little birds? I’ll plant sunflowers and scarlet runners for a while, and am aiming for huckleberry and native honeysuckle in the longer term. Left the dead canes in the hedge high up for a few more years of physical protection.

“Berry birds like that isn’t invasive” might be impossible, hm.

ETA constraints: safe for humans to walk past, long term maintenance is one winter prune and mow around
