Blackbirds devoured all the cherries, forcing the National Trust property in Cornwall to cancel its pick-your-own cherry event.
The event was scheduled to last five days at Cotehele, a medieval manor and grounds in Calstock, and was to begin on June 28.
However, Laura Jarman from the National Trust claimed that 80 cherry trees had been removed because "very cheeky blackbirds had feasted on them.".
She claimed that although the cherry orchards had been in bloom since 2004, there had been a greater yield of cherries in recent years.
The location for the event was Cotehele in Calstock.
"We've been planning our pick-your-own cherries at Cotehele with great excitement," Ms. Jarman stated.
"On Monday, we were setting up our plans and monitoring the cherries' ripening, but on Wednesday morning, the gardener came to let me know they were all gone.
The very cunning blackbirds have devoured 80 trees' worth of cherries. ".
They're so adorable, she added. We are not overly bothered. " .
Later in the year, Ms. Jarman said, they were still hoping to host an apple picking event.
