hmmm... could you use some netting but fix it around poles/sticks leaving a space around the bush, so you wouldn't have to get prickled? (so the bush is in the middle but with space all around it... netting to go over the top as well as around... did that make sense??!! lol)

Failing that... string up some old cds or something equally flashy or jangly around the bush, something to scare the birds away - perhaps you could give them a feeding station to distract them away from the bush? (not forgetting to leave the odd gooseberry/currant seeing as they do love 'em so).

The old CD's works wonders to keep birds away. I use them every year and really have very little trouble with birds. I think they work so well because they are flashy, moving and look like a large predators eye. I also keep deer and other critters away by planting plenty of corn and other goodies in places away from the fenced garden. Rabbits aren't going to bother to burrow under a fence if there's the same stuff around that's easier to get to. The deer will stop at the corn and never go beyond, to the actual garden.
